My favorite was an Airman that failed to salute an LT (back in the day when the AF had the small velcro name/rank patch instead of sewn on rank insignia).
LT decides to "train" said Airman by making him salute 100 times.
Col. walks up in the middle of the training session and asks LT what's going on. LT tells Col. what happened and what he is having the Airman do.
Col. looks at LT and says:
"I don't see you returning those salutes LT... "

Actually, this happened to me. We had an AF Lt. That never saluted back. Finally one day I said that I would not salute. The Airman with me did salute but in typical fa d hi on the Lt. Did not acknowledge. The Lt. Went back to our office and complained to my Major. When the Major learned the truth of the situation, he asked me to try it one more time. I promise you he saluted every Airman AFTER That encounter.

When I voluntarily attended BCT at the lovely, picturesque Fort Dix, NJ, a fellow Soldier killed a mosquito while we were supposed to be at attention. The Drill Sergeant ( a.k.a the devil incarnate), made him dig a grave, 6 feet by 3 feet, and 6 feet deep. After he buried the bug, the DS said he had to erect a tombstone and asked what sex the mosquito was. Since he did not know he had to dig it up to check. Obviously the Soldier never found it, but he decided to kill another one and claim it was the first. The DS screamed he knew this was not the first one, so the Soldier had to dig a second grave too!

Mr. Connor, in case you didn't know, your Drill Sargent didn't create the response he used, he copied it. Same situation occurred in the 1957 movie "The D.I.", staring Jack Webb. Tho the burial portion was a humorous addition.

Punishments? No that doesn't exist in our Army :). However, we do have a lot corrective training methods. Can't think of anything funnier. Glad it wasn't me :)

When I was in, we had wall to wall counseling. It wasn't kind or gentle, but it was effective.

You're Corporal, it's spelled you're. And that is why YOU'RE not ready for the Army yet.

SPC Joseph Fisher - I do not know what his ASVAB score was; but I bet it was in crayon.
