What has been your funniest moment as an instructor as a witness to an AIT student or of another instructor gaffe?

Analyst school was very dry and boring so I made it my extreme effort to get our teachers to tallk about something other than analyst training for about 20 minutes a day to lighten the mood. One time I started our instructor on a tangent and he makes the statement "the next morning I woke up next to an eskimo"

Something about telling a Drill Sergeant that he's a fool during barracks shakedown is hilarious, especially when that Drill Sergeant decides to smoke that individual in the middle of the bay having that soldier repeat "Drill Sergeant, I'm the fool"

My drill sergeant got dropped by our first sergeant for saying we were acting like little bitches and said he could out push any of us. So the first sergeant came out and issued a challenge, anyone who out pushes him, no fireguard for the rest of basic. 33 people out pushed him. The first sergeant was furious. He said who's the bitch now?? And got in his face, and yelled, why don't you hit that half right motherfucking face now. And he had to do 200 push-ups and some like 50p air squats
