He hit Derrick 14 times with a .308 calibre in less than 5 seconds. He had massive injuries and was lying on the ground for 3-hours before the rescue team and medical team risked their lives to get him out.2.5 years of intensive rehabilitation and eventually returned to full duties.Zero anxiety, stress, depression or PTSD as a result.This is not about resilience.
