What is the dumbest load you have pulled/hauled in the military?

I don't know who hauled it but the Guys in the UN Camp next to our's IN Haiti, got a "463-L Pallet" of .... Wait for it .... "Kotex Maxi Pads... " for a Battalion of Nepalese Male Troops...

Bleachers and gators oh and let's not forget fully loaded suburbans all for the green zone! Vital equipment!

2 of our guys, had to haul a "load" of ammo to fob hammer. They picked up 1 pallet. Strapped to the pallet was 1 can of ammo. Inside the can was 5.56MM blanks. This was in '09. Right out route Irish.

SAND! That's right I hauled and was a member of my battalions convoy security team that escorted/drove dumptruck loads of sand in the middle of a desert. I realize there was a purpose to it being that it was used for concrete and had to be a certain grade. It is hard to see the importance when your being hit by IEDs constantly while escorting dump truck loads of sand across a desert.

Two gators, on a bolster trailer, with a DA Civilian driving the 5ton. Both of which came loose and had to be resecured enroute going from Balad to Dogwood. Convoy left us....good times

An empty truck. I'm not Motor-T, but I got voluntold to drive a flatbed to pick up a bunch of gear for Marines returning from deployment. The problem was there was multiple miscommunications as to where the gear actually was, so I ended up driving from Point A to Point B back to Point A to Point C etc etc. I finally did pick up the gear... but damn it was frustrating that no one seemed to know where the truck was supposed to be.

Not the dumbest but certainly the strangest. This one time....at FT Irwin.....one night at our lager site, my unit is sitting there grillin it up and prepping for the upcoming "battle" when up comes walking two Marines....a PFC and a Lance Corporal.....turns out they were brand new to their unit (that was helping augment the OPFOR), and as part of their particular "initiation," as they told us the story, was that their platoon hog tied and blind folded them then drove them across the entire field of battle and told them to walk back and find the platoon. The poor souls had been walking all night when they came upon us. They were out of chow and almost out of water. So we fed them and resupplied their water. The next day we hauled them back to the general area of where their unit was, but before we could reach the destination, they asked us to stop so they could walk the rest of the way....which was about 5 miles out. My entire crew in the M113 was shaking out heads as we drove away.

There were many. However, my last trip with the LAARNG was to Montana to haul a bunch of inoperable equipment and motor vehicles all the way back to Louisiana. That never made any sense to me. A company convoy to haul junk thousands of miles?

Several Flag Officers at once. They were only in Antarctica to try and pick up their Antarctic Service Medal. That's why they changed the criteria to include a time element. Total waste of a day when I could have been out on the ice blowing things up. Had the last laugh as that change was made before they showed up. The bigger "dumb" was their staffs not having the balls to tell them that wouldn't work. Always the people at the end of the world getting the shaft with this stuff.
