Have you ever found yourself on mail buoy watch?
Ever been handed a kapok life vest and broom and told to fend off any monkeys that try to board during a Suez Canal transit?
How about being sent after the elusive ID10T that the chief needs right away?
I'd like to hear some of the other service gags run on the new guy. Let's hear em please!

The elusive sea bat? A bucket with a board on top, they tell you they've caught a sea bat and that if you're quick enough you can see it before it escapes. When you bend over to look in the bucket, someone steps up behind you and swats your backside with a paddle.
A Bosin's punch. A can of starboard light oil. a left handed hammer or screwdriver.

We actually had a bat fly into the hanger on our ship when we were a few miles out from Singapore. I'll have to see if I can dig up the pictures to post on here.

We used to have the cherries look for skyhooks and canopy lights. We also occasionally briefed the cherry 2LT's about jump courtesies for officers - they were the only ones allowed to use the forward doors on C-130's for jumps - it kept them separated from their men so they gain control more easily on the DZ.
Back in the 1960's and 70's there were some pretty nasty tricks - putting razor blades in the soap bars, taping them to the top shelf in lockers, and stashing some drugs behind someone else's locker or hub cap.
There the was the command to stand up and look for snipers, mines, etc. , and swapping maps with the 2LT's to see if they would notice.
And then there was the time...

We used to send a new private over to supply for a box of grid squares or a sky hook. We would also send them over to motor pool to fech a left handed monkey wrench.

Once sent an AIT student to find a "Sky Hook" to hold open the dumpster lid.

As a Cook School (AIT) instructor got a kick out of telling a right handed student who broke the yoke while turning an over easy egg that it was no wonder since they had a left handed food turner.

In aviation, we like to send the new guy for the following items:
1. 5 feet of flight line
2. chem light batteries
3. formation light liquid (a.k.a. chem lights)
4. metric adjustable wrench
5. left handed torque wrench
6. a gallon of rotor wash
I am sure there are more, but these are ones I have heard and used.
