We've all done thousands or more of pushups, but just for grins and giggles, what are some of the other exercises you've done or come across in your time in the service?

Before Basic Training my dad warned me about "Hello Dollys" and "The Dying Cockroach." To his surprise I learned both during OSUT. I also learned the "Motivator" and the "Monkey F*cker."
