Sadly, this isn't the first time I've heard of something like this happening. A couple years back I remember a group of staff personnel discussing a tragic accident on one of the larger FOBs over in Iraq in which a young female soldier was struck in the head by a fragment from indirect fire while she was in her CHU chatting with her mother on SKYPE. The horrified mother witnessed the whole thing.
