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>

We had a new guy who claimed to be the President's personal medic. In retaliation, one of the SGTs got the newbie to PMCS our armored vehicle using a hammer to check for soft spots.

A New 2LT had a bit of a chip on her shoulder. (Tried to put the 1SG at parade rest.). 1SG calls me in to his office, to ask me if I could mentor her. Too late, I told him, SSG T. Has it under control. I pointed to the motor pool, where the two were talking.

She tarts walking back towards the building, and we see her turn around. "SSG T, what keys did you need me to get again?"
"The hand truck MA'am. 1SG has them."
"Got, it. Hand truck." That was just the start of a long day. We told to to make she she gets maintance done on the PRC-E6.

We sent a Marine, new to our Detachment (USS Ranger CV-61) to sick Bay for a case of NSU to sterilize the head.

He came back with a bottle (think UA sample bottle size) full of baking soda and vinegar. The corpsmen told him to shake the bottle vigorously to activate the NSU. It went everywhere.

While stationed in Hawaii, I had a couple of Ranger buddies on Island. On April 1st I had a friend from St. Louis fax a set of Orders (that I had created from thin air) to them directing them to return to Ranger School for a 8 week re-certification Course. They called me in a panic asking if I got Orders as well. I told them "Yes" and that it was a new Army Policy that all Rangers have to re-do the Course every 10 years or lose the Tab. The April Fools prank last about a week. My friends were FREAKING out for an entire week! They were convinced that they had one month to prepare to go to Ranger School AGAIN!

While stationed in 25th ID in Hawaii, we conducted a 100% inspection of all equipment we were taking to JRTC because the change of command was planned when we returned a couple months later (it was all going on a boat there and back...for a long time). We started early in the morning and it went until late that night (into the morning for some of us), as it needed to be laid out, inspected, loaded, locked and sealed.

One of my NCOs started early with the games by sending a new private to me for "squelch grease' for which I promptly referred him to the Commo section...everyone knows the Medical PL does not keep that on hand! ;-)

That began a whole day of messing with the 30 or so new Soldiers...they did them all...
Box of Grid Squares, Chemlight Batteries, "Prick" E-7, etc.

I pretty much stayed out of it, but at one point I sent one of the smarter Soldiers to ask the Company Commander (who i knew had a good sense of humor) if he picked up the 9mm Blank Adapters. It was a few hours later that I actually got a chance to se the Soldier and he says...

Soldier: Oh, Sir, I forgot to tell you that I went to ask CPT P for the blank adapters, but he wasn't there.

Me: That OK, I'll ask him later.

Soldier: Yeah, except I went to ask the 1SG, and i was suposed to give you a message from him awhile ago.

Me: Oh...what did he say?

Soldier: He said to tell you that he wants to see you when you get a chance.

Me: Thanks.

I promptly walked to the 1SG's office (like any good former NCO and 2nd LT should know to do)...

Me: Top, you wanted to see me?

1SG: God D%#@#t, Sir...we have too much F%$$#&g S$#t to do...leave the F@#$@$g greenies alone!!

Me: WILCO Top!

I once ordered 150 ft of flight line (within my daily log request) from the S4 NCOIC who told me he’d never been had by one of those “name game stunts!”

We knew we had him when I got a "backorder" status from him the next day!
