Don't know how many times, but a few. Lot's of 81 MM Mortars.

Worst memory is hearing a rocket coming from behind me. You can tell by the sound that its moving so fast that there is no way you can get out of way, so I just looked up and watched it fly off into the ocean. Figure it missed me by four or five feet.
Don't know where it came from.
