Have you ever used your military training to help others in a non traditional way?

We get a ton of training, some times we use it in a manner that it was never intended for. Here is a comical example of how I had to use my old Platoon Sergeant Voice to help a fellow airline passenger in need. A flight I was on was running late, and the woman sitting across from me was very anxious she was going to miss her flight. As we were coming in for landing she notified the Flight Attendant that she had a connection to catch and it was going to be close. Of course we were at the back of the plane so you know how that usually works out. The announcement was made when the plane stopped and asked for people to wait so other could get off, and of course everyone stood up. The poor woman was almost in tears, No one would move out of her way. I got kind of ticked off at the inconsideration of my fellow travelers and just went all Platoon Sergeant on them, told the woman to get behind me and just follow. "LETS GO, LETS GO, LETS GO, MAKE HOLE AND MAKE IT WIDE, FELLOW TRAVELR NEED TO GET THROUGH!!!!! A lot of people were stunned, and a few "MOVE IT, MOVE IT" later their butts were getting out of the way. I did this the whole way up the plane, till I got to first class, and some jack wad had his suitcase in the aisle and had no intention of moving it. So I asked him "What are you from the nation of Ignoramous? This woman needs to catch a flight, now you can move this or I can climb over it, your choice" He moved it. The flight antendentdets and Co-Pilot were up front, laughing their butts off, one of them asked me if I wanted a job.

The woman was grateful she got off the plane as quickly as she did. I don't know if she caught her flight or not. But on that day, she learned an old crusty redleg can move an airplane of people! So what things have you done with your military training that you never expected to do?
