Sheehy has said a bullet lodged in his arm during a 2012 Afghanistan firefight and that, suspecting it was from friendly fire, he did not report the incident at the time to protect his unit's members. In 2015, when seeking medical care in a Kalispell hospital, he said the injury was from an accidental discharge of a firearm in Glacier National Park that day.[10] A park ranger cited Sheehy and fined him $525 for discharging his gun. Sheehy told The Washington Post that he "made up the story about the gun going off to protect himself and his former platoonmates from facing a potential military investigation into an old bullet wound that he said he got in Afghanistan in 2012." He has said that questioning whether he was shot in Afghanistan is "tantamount to falsely accusing him of stolen valor", but has declined to release his medical records and said records showing he received the bullet wound in Afghanistan do not exist.
Sheehy left active duty in 2014 and was discharged from the Navy Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) in 2019. Sheehy wrote in his memoir and in a resume submitted to the Montana State Legislature that he had been medically discharged due to wounds received in Afghanistan. In October 2024, an NBC News review of Sheehy's discharge paperwork found that Sheehy voluntarily resigned from commission, contradicting his claims that he was discharged from the military because of injuries he sustained on duty.
