Anybody know where I can find a bucket of steam and bottle of bulkhead remover?

AC Batteries for L.E.T.

Rotate tracks on the ITV.

I spent many, many nights looking for these as a PVT, and NOW they are finally found? Can someone finally tell me where the Squelch Oil is?

How about sending the new guy to the dog handlers for a bucket of K9P? Or telling a newbie to call Col. Sanders and giving them the phone number for the KFC just off base.

Am I the only one to send my camp OIC off to find the commo sergeant because we needed some fresh signal strength in the Ops center?

One of my favorites, was to have a new Lt show up at our nuke site, and take them on a lock check in full gear. We would tell them that we had to take a fire extinguisher with us. The Lt would have one filled with water and ours would be empty. By the time we checked all the bunkers, they would be soaked in sweat. They did catch on pretty quick.

Actually, bored nukes underway in the Engineering department on CGN-9 would concoct all sorts of rumors contrary to what the command was telling us, then 'plant' them and see how far up the chain of command they would go. Bonus points were awarded if the rumor was addressed by a spun up skipper at Captain's Call.

As a Sgt while laying underneath a HMMWV I had a private go to the motor Sgt and ask for a PRC E-8 to remove a PRC E-7 from its position.

Being artillery, we would tell the cherry that one of the guns was shooting outside the impact area so we had to mark our rounds. We would tell the cherry he would need to hold a grease pencil at the end of the tube so when the round exited the tube it would mark it for the forward observers. They would stand there hand damn near shaking off their arm. At the last second, we would tell them to get the hell out of the way.

Oh, I forgot my other creative favorite: a new Signalman striker was sent down to the ship's armory for "the smoking gun." My division's GMs were told by the newbie that the gun was the one used to fire smoke flares.

Box of grid squares, classic. Getting the LT to go fetch a roll of orderwire, for you commo guys haha... Exhaust samples in a trashbag... Getting the new 25U to ask our platoon sergeant to help him find a PRC-e7 lol
