What is the funniest thing you've seen or experienced while deployed?

When i was the TOC OIC in Afghanistan at the 209th RCAG North, we just put in a QRF emergency red button. A SGT came in, saw the sign “emergency button, do not push” and pushed it. We didn’t know right away how to stop the siren, (it was a twist to stop) so it was loud and proud. OMFG i wanted to club him like a baby seal. It woke everyone up and i had to cover him with an announcement that it was a test. He was doing a few extra tasks around the fob for that one.

I was a part of a small recon team with eyes on a foreign military company sized unit (this was a joint training exercise) and was able to get pretty close to them. We set up shop in a giant ass bush (roughly the size of a four cubical area) because there was really no other concealment. It was after dark, I had finished my shift, and was catching a nap when I got the boot tap waking me up. The company sized unit had moved pretty much on top of our position and the bush we were in had become the company's piss bush. Every fucking member of that unit pissed in this bush at some point! It was a rather large bush so we didn't actually get pissed on but the smell and trying to find a non-pissed in area of the bush while trying to get out the next morning when they moved out...

I was assigned to a nuclear storage base in Europe. The base was subject to annual inspections one of which was about to begin in a few days after assignment. All enlisted assigned to the base have to meet their squadron commander (a full bird). He said...We're about to have an inspection in a few days and we really want to pass...I lost it for a moment. I was expecting him to say he wanted to achieve top marks...flying colors or anything else besides...eh, lets try to pass.

PFC Daniel's getting a mule caught in a large ditch strataling the gap and watching his helmet go round and round on his head till he cleared that gap. After all these years,73 for that event it is so vivid in my mind.

I've never drank piss before but I imagine that it would taste like knockoff yellow Gatorade.

Less than a week into a 6 month deployment, the ships evaps went down. No water for showers,enough for cooking, etc.After about a week of no showers, a garden hose was run up from engine room to the flight deck. (FFG).Great way to start a deployment.

I was AF Combat Controller and on my first HALO jump (10K), I started a slow spin that started getting faster, the fix tuck in and dive. My googles started flapping SO HARD due to the increased speed, that when I flared out my instructor teammate was flying in front of me laughing hysterically! When we got on the ground, I said "what's so funny"? His response, You did everything right, but when you came out of your track, YOUR EYE WERE SO BIG!! The reason THAT'S funny, I'm part Chinese!! After that, I think the whole base knew what happened.

This was in garrison...my loader nutted in the ear cup of my gunner's CVC helmet out in the field and only got caught because he bragged about it...two weeks after we came out of the field.
