The luckiest turret gunner in the entire U.S. Army survives two direct hits from a Taliban RPG gunner while on a mounted patrol in Eastern Afghainstan.

If you've ever wanted front-row seats to a top-of-the-truck RPG hit, then here's a two-for-one deal you won't want to pass up. While I can't personally say this is ever something I wanted to experience, I can say that whoever this turret gunner is should probably have started scratching off lottery tickets after this. He was the luckiest son-of-a-gun in that entire valley on this day.

For the record, the turret gunner did survive this. The last we heard from him was back in 2012, and he was alive and well back CONUS. If you're still out there buddy, and still following us, let us know down in the comments. We've love to hear how you're holding up.
