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!

Up at Fort Drum we were issued white cold weather boots we referred to as "Mickey Mouse" boots. The boots had an air valve to depressurize while in the air and whatnot. A private was complaining about his feet being cold so I told him to go ask the squad leader for the "boot pump." The squad leader ended up going to the platoon sergeant who finally explained to the squad leader, and the private, the reasoning behind the air valve.
