How do you celebrate birthday in the military? Favorite memories of the past?

Ok, let's keep it clean. I don't care how drunk you got, what you did behind closed doors, or what you shot up your veins/nostrils. Got any good stories otherwise?

well my first one in the military I forgot I had one until we started the next month. The next two... training, training, training aaaaaannnnd training. And no I didn't tell anybody it was my birthday (even though one of those was my 21st). There are too many bored Sgts in my unit I ain't no dummy lol

I had duty on my ship. It was a quiet duty day.

My 20th I spent in the front leaning rest. My Drill Sergeant was pretty cool about it and had the platoon sing happy birthday while cranking out pushups.
21st, I spent in the field.
22nd, I get to spend in the field at Fort Drum.
