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

I'm still looking for the PRC-7 and squelch grease...

I remember sending the new guy after prop wash to clean the fan blades on a 113. What was great was when the CO went along with it and sent him all the way to the other side of the complex. Poor guy must have walked 5 miles that morning.

On Subs: sending the new guy for a water slug was popular, but most of the gags we pulled were just practical jokes, like:
1. grease a toilet seat
2. sound powered phone handset, then go to another part of the boat and call the booby-trapped phone.
3. freeze somebody's pillow (helps if you moisten it first)
4. short sheet a bed
5. grease the handrails of a ladder
6. steal the new C.O.'s stateroom door the first time he goes on watch
7. send the new torpedoman into the tube to wipe up condensation, then close the door for a few minutes (once saw a guy who went in head first come back out head first, I have no idea how he turned around in there.
8. cross connect low pressure air lines with 100 pound air to blow the relief in the forward ET's space

I want an exhaust sample,a box of grid squares,check my tank for soft spots, oh there are so many I could go on and on

They got me with the ID10T forms but only after four tries that failed.

First try, they told me to go to AIMD and get a bucket of jet wash. I laughed and reminded them of what jet wash really is.

Second try, they tried to send me to do PMS (Planned Maintenance System) on the HiCaps in the #2 main machinery room. I asked for the PMS card and then asked why there were no HiCaps listed in 2MMR on the attached maintenance schedule.

Third try, I don't remember but I remember that the PO3 that tried ended up with a red face.

Fourth try, they tried to send me to 2MMR for a bucket full of steam. I went to the O2N2 plant instead and brought back a bucket with something like an inch and half of liquid nitrogen in the bottom. It was steaming furiously by the time I got back to my shop.

The fifth try was when they sent me to Personnel to fill out my ID10T forms, after I had already been called back to personnel twice because they forgot to have me fill out some forms that legitimately needed to be filled out when I first got to my ship.

Pvt go to supply and pick up some ST-ONE's and a couple of cans of frequency grease.

My Team had Motor pool duty, as we were heading their we walked by a Private in a Bradly Turret spinning in circles. My Sergent stopped him and asked what he was doing, in which the private replied i was told to unscrew the turret and grease it. Whit out skipping a beat my Sergent looked at him and said " You Dumb ass your spinning it the wrong way" the Private thanked us and started to spin the turret the opposite direction.

I've sent new Privates in search of landing strip (two-person lift), fallopian tubing (not sold in stores), lithographic triptolipters (definitely not a thing), and self-regulating sphygmomanometers (actually a thing), and Bravo Alpha 1100 Novembers (also a thing).

I've made M109 operators check the shocks on their gun by jumping on it. Hint: You're not making that thing budge.

Having them look for soft spots in armor is fun, but I've learned the hard way that making them mark said soft spots with chalk will land you with the responsibility of cleaning it.

send a newbie across the entire airfield to ask another unit if he could have a full spool of flight line, and a half bucket of prop wash...

Of course they are right next to that box of grid squares and those bottles of liquid back blast
