This. Who cares what others went through.
My training sorties in helos were pretty fucking scary sometimes as well.
You wanna have the shit scared out of you, teach a new CP how to do 180 autorotations in a Huey. Much scarier than seeing people shoot into the air.
Edit: Don't tell infantry guys about how scared you were getting "shot at" or what a badass you are for it. Hogs and helos might get a pass on this one but most others probably not.
