What’s the best prank in uniform you've seen? Comment below!

Newly minted Mustang Ensign showed up in boot camp barracks as we were ready to hit the rack. As I heard "Attention on deck", I grabbed my 13 button trousers so they wouldn't hit the floor. The next thing I knew, he was right in my face "What do you have in your hands. sailor?' I immediately replied "my pants sir!' and immediately dropped trou. He made a hasty retreat as my boot camp mates stifled their laughter.

Explaining to the new PVT in the platoon that since the horn on our humvee is not working he needs to go to all of the maintenance shops until he finds "can of beep".

Being no stranger for being pranked, I’ve pranked a few myself. We had a group of cadidiot. ( officers cadets). One walked in and introduced himself to me and asked if I needed anything. He was an officer candidate and could make things happen. I asked him for BA 100 Novembers ( balloons) I noticed the puzzled look on his face. He asked what those were. I asked him back, Sir, do you know what a BA 30/30 is? He affirmed he did, so I asked him, Sir then what do you think a BA 1100 November is? He seemed to get the picture and asked me if I knew where to obtain them. I told him I only needed one and they were on the BMOs desk in his office. I sent him merrily on his way. He never came back. Another cadidiot was sent for blinker fluid. One for a front slope wear indicator of an M1 tank. And one for a noise suppression cable. That candidly came back with one. Apparently there is a noise suppression cable for an M1 tank.

I was at first an ammo bearer for an 81mm crew. After about a half a day chunking rounds to the intended target, the mortar had to be repositioned and re aligned. Trying to pry the base plate out of NC red clay was a challenge. I was on the adjusting gun, smack in the middle. I commented that there had to be a better way. My NCO told me there was a “base plate jack” that would simplify the procedure. I asked where it was at, and he told me Gun 1 had it. I promptly took off for said piece of equipment. Little did I know, all the guns were on a hot loop so everyone knew what I was sent out for. I got to gun one and asked for the jack only to be told gun 8 had it. I trotted to gun 8 only to be told gun 1 had it. At this point I caught on that I had been had. Returning to my hole, my NCO had such a grin on his face. I knew I was accepted.

The Imposable Sit up.

On a Med deployment, we put a guy on Mail Buoy Watch. We told him that all the mail for the ship would be dropped by either helicopter or prop plane and he would need to stand up on the Foc'sil with a boat hook and when the "mail drop" happened he needed to grab the mail before it sank into the ocean.

The day we chose to prank this person it was raining, so we outfitted him in full foul-weather gear and sent him up to the nose of the ship where he dutifully stayed for a couple of hours until the ship's Bo'sun asked what some idiot was doing standing at the front of the ship in the rain with a boat hook.

I have the pictures of my shipmate outfitted in the foul-weather gear holding the boathook to prove that sea story is true to boot.
