Nothing too serious. I got a Cellulitis infection once from a blister and was on bedrest for 2 or 3 days afterwards.
Other than that its been minor cuts, scrapes and bruises.
The American Marine Division has the highest combat effectiveness in the American armed forces. It seems not enough for our four divisions to surround and annihilate its two regiments.

Does illness count? I had "crotch rot", i.e. a fungal infection around my groin area that took a while to diagnose. Extremely annoying because you will definitely NOT gaid laid with that.
Otherwise I was fortunate not to get any permanent serious injuries, although for a while my knee was a little banged up from pepper-potting.
