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>

First off, I dont recommend doing this but when I was an E4, myself and they rest of the so called (E4 mafia) all collected chem lights of various colors, cracked them all then proceeded to cut the tops off. This was in NTC by the way, in 97. Once everyone had their chem light cut and ready, we found the one guy in our squad "wont say his name" and threw all the chem light juice all over him, he then took off running through the desert glowing in the dark... was extremely hilarious at the time but also resulted in a trip to the 1SG tent once everything was all said and done. Luckinly the 1SG found humor in it, but still had us on every detail throughout the duration of our rotation.

For a young Soldier new to tanks, an M1A1/A2 exhaust sample, for a young LT either checking hull for soft spots or conducting a BOOM check of the main gun.

We'll I'm a Transporter. And every fresh private I get from AIT will definitely have to get an exhaust sample. Maybe even blinker fluid. And if they come back with an exhaust sample I'll send them to maintenance to get the exhaust tester id-10T kit.

Send them to the Mechanic NCOIC for a left handed metric screwdriver for the adjustable power band.

<p>Prior to unit personnel inspection, finding some unsuspecting soul who had left their cover unattended and turn the hat device upside down. Then inducing a last minute rush to fall into formation preventing them from doing a final minute once over of their uniform. The inspections always proceeded with the appropriate military precision right up until the inspector reached the intended victim. </p><p><br></p><p>Reactions were varied, but the best was always the inspector who obviously couldn't quite figure out what was wrong at first. There was always a puzzled look until the light bulb went on. Recriminations were equally varied.</p>

Mail buoy watch was always hilarious. Having guys go to the commo shack looking for 10 feet of fallopian tubing was extremely funny (although that was back when the ship was all men an you didn't have to worry about offending anyone...LOL)

aint that the truth chief... I started sending my Soldiers looking for the tubing when we were doing AOAP samples on the Paladin. It is a good one.

Not my favorite, but....
.....I am known for turning anything velcro or pin-on upside down. The nametape on the back of the PC is my primary target since most Soldiers will leave the PC unattended and it usually is something they never check.

I was 40 when I got commissioned so I am an "old" officer. When I was a 1LT one of my NCOs replaced the rank on my PC and field jacket with LTC rank. I only noticed it when I went to the PX and had several Majors salute me in the parking lot. Fortunately, I looked old enough to pull it off.

As a PMO desk Sgt. I once sent a FAP Sgt. to the base pool to check for a flooded building. He spent most of the shift looking for the building number, before finding the pool.

When checking into a new command, the NCOIC sent me to supply for some specialty tool. I forget what it was, but it was on a par of a "mile of flight line" or "bucket of rotor wash".
I walked in, went over to the gunny and said I'm being hazed. The Cpl wants a such and such tool, I forget what he asked. Do you have anything I can take back. He went back and found something weird I had no idea what it was and asked if this will work. I smiled and said yes, thank you and started to walk out. He stopped me and said, "PFC, when your done, tell the Cpl he needs to return it personally". I obliged but never saw the Cpl again.

I once told a 1LT that the batteries in the ASIP radios was full of triple A batteries which is why they were non recharchable.
Come to me the next day with about 200 batteries...Â
Moral of the story, don't prank guys who out rank you.

I remember a few i sent privates out on, usually get ass chewed, but with a smirk. they were the common one, box of grid squares, bottle of frequency grease, lefthanded hammers, 100 yards of flightline, fifth wheel. they would be all over the base, because who ever they went to would send them somewhere else. thats usually when id get that ass chewing call, someone would send them to brigade commander or CSM. good old days!!
