30-year-old Jason Tobin has been injured three times while serving in Iraq. His father, Dennis Tobin says he has a cats life. Jason first brush with death happened along the Syrian border. He was knocked out of a humvee after being shot in the chest with a rifle. His life saver was an armored vest. The second time was only a month ago after just beginning his second tour in December. He was riding in a humvee when it hit a roadside bomb. The accident killed the gunner, blinded the Sergeant Major and perforated one of Jason's ear drums. On Tuesday the Tobin's phone rang. Family members found out Jason had been injured again. He was coming out of a building and a mortar landed 30 feet from him. He was thrown back into the building from impact. After being examined at a hospital in Baghdad for internal head injuries, Jason has permanently lost hearing in one ear. Jason's father says he will likely finish serving his time.
