I know these will all differ per MOS but I have seen some of the funnier things on here, acronyms, movies, and such. So here goes. What are the most memorable pranks that you have pulled on the NEW privates.

 

I guess the most memorable one that we did in the Mechanized Infantry where to have a bunch of privates a top a M-113 jumping up and down to test shock movement on the tracks. Platoon Sergeant was pissed cause we had all the new guys in the platoon and one older guy up there for a total of 10.

When we would go down range to {Pinion Canyon (near Trinidad, CO) we would put the new medics out on storm watch or assiign them to put out pogey bait under the traps and check periodically to see if we caught any becuase they carried infected fleas. LOL

Ok, the proverbial K-9P spray, was given to me. I'll never live that down. I know if someone asked me to go get a piece of flight line, I would ask if they want concrete or swiss cheese flight line. Because I know my flight lines... LOL...

At Langley AFB, Fuel Cell had a newbie go to all the shops to collect air samples. He had garbage bags that he had to collect the air samples in. It was funny seeing him hold those bags up with duck tape to seal them up.... lol

But this one comes from Vietnam. My father told me this since he was instigator of it. He and his tent mate both got Christmas trees (fake) from home. One was smaller than the other. So they put the smaller one outside the tent. They acted like it was real and watered it. After a few days the exchanged it with the taller one. They made it look like it grew. I do not what after, but I am sure the Marine Platoon was convinced it was real. lol

Springtime was a time to change the air in the tires.

If you take a fan & a bottle of baby powder, then pour the baby powder at the base of the door and blow it under with the fan, everything in the room will be covered in powder. It's a great prank to pull right before field day.
