If you're willing to share it, what was your most embarrassing moment while serving in the military?

Mine involves some ill timed fiber supplements and a run on a remote part of Bagram during my deployment to AFG. I won't go into all of the details, but I will say that a uniform was ruined that day.

How about relieving your self after digging a cat hole sitting there doing your righteous business only to find out 8 other squads are watching you through their NVGs. You begin to wonder if they had ever seen an animal or person defecate!!! I chalked it up to youthful inexperience and perversion on there part and went home chalking my experience to maturity!!! And a good story about our new poop patrol who need NVGts to see what was really important to them!!!

CPT Private RallyPoint Member While training in Graf (Germany) we were picking up HMMWV'd and transporting with our Chinook CH47'S. When we were done and flying back, the pilots were following a winding road and I was looking out the back. They didn't tell me that it was not a good idea and as I had flown on multiple missions without issue. As we were zig zagging my stomach was doing so as well. When the flight crew realized I was loosing my lunch and got me a plastic trash bag it was too late. When they had said who had gotten sick, the pilots were shocked, and CW3 Baker said "not Tomahawk" Later in the mess hall another pilot was teasing me about puking on the training mission and I happen to have a cup of coffee in my hand. I told him I was like this cup of coffee, keep me upright and I keep my contents, tip me (tipping my coffee over his lap) and I loose my contents. His eyes got big, we all laughed, no further issue.

While at Ft Dix for Air Base Ground Defense they had to send out a patrol of cadre "to find me lost in the woods."
I wasn't lost, I was right where I was told to stay by the NCO leading our squad attending the Level II school. I was pulling rear security for an ambush and he pushed me out too far and then forgot about me when the rest of the unit pulled out.
Embarrassing non the less as a young troop.

Getting overly excited about twizzlers, cheese crackers and pictures of dogs. I go from serious to happy/giggly within seconds.
