What is one of the best prank's you have either done, or heard of someone doing. Late one night while in Iraq 05', and training the Iraqi Army, we had our medic call in from our CP. She spoke with the SFC who was the RTO that night and told him that we found out what was wrong with our radio. We had her say that it was a simple fix and we only need some "B-A eleven hundred November's and some S-T Rings" Well this guy says "stand by" and went looking. About an hour or so later he surprisingly calls us back and said that he woke up 1SG who didnt have any and that he didnt know where they were and said to check with supply. He woke up supply and went digging through the connex of course to no avail... So we told him roger and we ended the transmissions, laughing our butts off of course. Well the next morning the OIC of our group, a MAJ, walks out of his door upon our return and sternly said, "you, you and you, COME HERE, RIGHT NOW!!" Thinking the worst of it, we walked in and stood at attention. He sits down across from us and pulls out a piece of paper. It was the 1594 from the night prior showing that this idiot actually LOGGED IN the BALLOONS and STRINGS... smh he busted out laughing and we all just lost it... funniest thing ever.<br>

My first time on Okinawa at Camp Hansen, we had the old squad bay barracks. New guys to the 9th Engineers would be told that they needed to get in PT gear with the addition of flak jacket, helmet for typhoon watch. They were directed to walk up and down the roof of the building and every 20 minutes call out loud and clear "All Clear". It was pretty funny watching guys from all the other barracks come out to take pics of the guy making an spectacle of himself on the roof of the building. Our 1st Sgt was not nearly as impressed as some of the other Marines.

As I was in the Commo Shop, in walks once of my newbies...
Me - "Well?"
Newbie - "I'm need to see the Commo Sergeant"
Commo SGT - "That's me"
Newbie - "I'm looking for PRC (pronounced Prick) E-5"
Commo SGT - "YOU JUST FOUND HIM IDIOT! PUSH!"
Newbie looked up at me from his new found status...
Me - "You did that to yourself, dummy. Keep pushin'. (To the Commo Sergeant) Send to see me when your finished."
Commo SGT "Roger, out"

Nothing as funny as what has already been posted but it never failed. In Vietnam where all Funugis were already pretty nervous we would send them to Supply for a can of friction grease and a 100yrd of chow line. The 1Sgt was perpetually pissed at us.

My room mate had a coon skin cap and there was a guy in the unit I knew was deathly afraid of animals so I put this hat in my hand and came out of out the room petting it like it is alive. Just as he comes around the corner he sees me petting the hat an he was gone! I have never seen any one move so fast in my life. He was completely on the other side of the other side of the barracks before I had a chance to show him it was a hat. I never did show him it was a hat.

I remeber back during desert shield we were really undermanned and we got a fresh infusion of new recruits. seems like every platoon had the same idea and all you could see were all these guys jumping up and down on the our M113's to check to ensure the shocks were still good. Just before Desert Storm we got a new PLT SGT and the driver who wanted to help; out so as the driver was doing maintenace he had him running around the track tapping inside and out for the weak spots in the armor. Sadly this type of behavior stuck with me when i left the military and i was a shift supervisor of a Juvenile detention unit.. When ever I would have a new kid I would tell them that someone stole the uinit Brick Bender i I needed it found asap.....hours of watching them run around trying to find it.

Oh so many back in the days it was allowed..... Having Privates look for a PRC E-8 was esp. funny because we worked on PRC -90s and PRC 112s. ID-10-T forms, brake light fluid, sparkplugs for a Humvee, and order a box of grid squares, or a yard of flight line. (you can order flight line now!)

No matter the prank...

My favorite is when the people above you play along without hesitation and without you telling them what you are doing.

Had a prank (unknowingly) make it to the Brigade CSM.... He thought the A.S.S. Greece for the ID-10T Report was pretty funny!

There's a 68-year-old, grey-haired Ensign (or the ghost of that Butter Bar) still wandering the darkened passageways and supply compartments of the USS MIDWAY trying desperately to find a quart of Relative Bearing Grease!!!
