Well, if you were there in 1987, then maybe. That's exactly what happened to me. And as I sat in the recovery group to the side, I got called back for an extra rubella shot. Since everyone was mostly done, they (medical personnel) were standing around telling jokes. The punchline was delivered as the needle (a conventional shot) was shoulder deep. As I was already woozy, when that f-ing nurse laughed at the punchline and wiggled that needle around in my arm, I passed out.
So now I am very phobic about needles. And I think you understand the love affair that the military has with vaccinations and drawing blood. Not a fun career in that respect.

I guess they were a tiny bit nicer in 87.

That poor guy in front of me had a 2" scar once it healed.
The gun they used when he tore his arm/shoulder was the three-headed version.

Fucked up way to inoculate people

No, they werent...

In 1986 they used the gun on all of us, and I guess there is one in every squadron... ‘cause the guy in front of me did the same thing. No matter how much they warned you not to flinch...

Both arms, walking down the line, watching the ~400mL bottle of vaccine drop by about 5mm each time they hit someone... and the 55 gallon trash container they were throwing the empties into... ?

I think it was about 5 vaccines total... and man were we all ill the following day.

....and then I was deployed and accidently left my shot record in my right BDU pocket and washed it. Got em all again...

I was warned to keep my shot record in a ziplock bag.
I bagged mine into another bag.
