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>

Used to send new Airmen to retrieve the basement keys in a single story building. Alternately, especially in the winter at Misawa AB, at night we'd send the new LT's up to the roof to watch for enemy satellites passing over the secured facility.

My favorite story is when I sent a young troop in Iraq to the motor pool to get a "wing nut wrench". The Motor Sergeant called me and said to quit sending people to the motor pool for that sh**. The troop returned and got online and "googled" wing nut wrench and then told me that they cost about $100. Smart kid.

In the mobil facilities we had mock NBC training. We had to work a day in full mopp gear. we would run up behind someone, grab him tightly and cover his mask filter hole. Then run back to the group watching. After he caught his breath, he'd turn around to see a dozen guy all in gas masks watching him with no idea who just did that.

Germany - 2001: We took the time to print out a label (with NSN) and place it on a box, cut up pieces of plastic sheeting and handed it to one of our team leaders. Called over the new private and told him to see team leader and ask for a box of grid squares. High speed runs down, talks with team leader and retrieves box of grid squares. comes back and we look in the box and tell him that it's not enough and we need more. High speed asked every team leader in the company, as well as asked Alpha company (who we shared a MP with). He then ran to supply and asked them... Supply Segeant told him there was no such thing and that we were messing with him. High speed told Supply Sergeant " I had the box of grid squares, it had a label and an NSN on it". Supply Sergeant told him to bring the box, so High speed came back, got the box and brought it to the Supply sergeant. Needless to say, even the Supply sergeant was fooled. He started looking up the NSN as he thought they were real. 2 birds, 1 prank.... Supply sergeant never lived it down and he would get random requests for the other items (ID-10 Tango, BA 1100 Novembers (filled),  Tango Romeo Double Echos, chem light batteries, etc....)
