I had one soldier who shaved his eyebrows off. Another who we kept finding hidden in his wall locker. One fellow put a radio antenna in his mouth, claiming he got better reception that way. Another fellow raised rats in the trunk of his car...yet another had a piranha in a small aquarium and raised pizza money by charging admission when he'd toss in a live mouse... I remember one who set fire to his uniforms in the orderly room, thinking he was out of the Army...guess what? His discharge was effective at midnight; he was arrested and charged...and many more!!

At basic, we were in formation and one of the guys in my platoon was caught talking. DS called him in front of the formation and ordered him to go upstairs to our bay to strip, wax, and buff the floors.

When one of our other DS's went to check on him after a few minutes we heard a stream of expletives coming from the windows and then a roundbrown hat pop out and yelled out that dude was barenaked, waxing the floors lol

No kidding...there I was...commanding a battalion in Iraq. Two of my female Soldiers got hold of some intoxicating beverages...a violation of General Order No. 1 in that theater...and started roaming from CHU to CHU, making a spectacle of themselves. They were turned in to their 1SG and eventually each faced a Field Grade Art. 15.

The Company Commander and 1SG were so embarrassed that their Soldiers were caught with alcohol, that they executed a health and welfare inspection in their company living area the next. After the inspection, the company commander came to report the results of the inspection to me. When I asked if any more alcohol was found, the commander said none was found and was proud to report that he believed that the issue of alcohol possession had been nipped in the bud for now. When I asked if any other General Order No. 1 contraband (specifically, porn) had been located, his face became a little pained, and he began hemming and hawing. When I pressed him for what was found, he started to beat around the bush with some story that they didn't find anything that could be confiscated. I then directed him to tell me what exactly was found, he lowered his head a little and said, "a self pleasure device, sir." Now...that term conjures up in my own mind a particular image, but I was in a bit of a sadistic mood that day and asked the commander, "what KIND of self pleasure device?" He began saying, "It...it...it..." while moving his hands like he was holding a large basketball. I cut him off and said, "Just say it!" He again lowered his head a little and said, "It was a butt, sir. Polyurethane...complete with orifices. I think it's an impression of Jenna Jameson's." When I asked why he didn't confiscate it he replied, "The Air Force Security Police who were helping us with the inspection said that it wasn't porn and couldn't be confiscated." I figured that either the Air Force had a different idea of what constituted "porn", or one of those SP's had the same butt back at his hooch.

1LT Sandy Annala I was a Marine MP stationed at MCAS Yuma at the time (just down the proverbial road) and it played absolute HELL with us briefly. Guess they though ripping off planes might have been contagious

CMSgt James Nolan. Foote took an extraordinary risk . . . flying an aircraft that he was not checked out on . . . and stealing an aircraft that was down for major maintenance . . . this joy ride could easily have resulted in a major tragedy for him and those on the ground. I would be a little concerned no one seemed to bother to tie down / secure these aircraft. Warmest Regards, Sandy
