  I was deployed to Afghanistan 1 week after i graduated basic training about month later my mounted patrol was ambush by at 50 Taliban members I was shot in the arm and have pieces of metal over my arm from a RPG they took the bullet out but the pieces of metal are still in my arm when the sun hits my right arm the metal heats up and starts burning my arm when its cold my elbow from where the bullet was hurts really bad doctors say they will see what they can do but its been over a year and nothing has happen yet..i guess I'm just going to have to deal with it till i die.
