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

We had about 15 people in our SCIF and one Christmas we got into the supply room and found some small bells and string. We climbed under tables and desks and would tie the strings around an unsuspecting Soldier's boot. If you were REALLY lucky and fast, you could do both boots. And as the Soldier walked off, we would sing Jingle Bells. We called it, "Getting Bipped." Fun times at CECOM.

The impossible sit up pulled on a green beret Sgt.

Navy would be sending out a newbie for a gallon of "relative bearing grease", batteries for the"sound powered phones", and on and on!

I was stationed in Germany, We were Ground Surveillance Radar. Spent time on the Czech boarder, our job was to watch for troops or tanks coming across the boarder. The Radar has two setting on on Strop and on on Cont,, if it were on continuous it was like static and any person or vehicle coming in to the signal would cause it to break up or have space in the static. on strop it sounded a lot like there were Tank coming. Ok here was happen we had one of our guys fall a sleep with the head phones on, he had it on Cont,,, we slip over and put on strobe, We woke him and had to hold him down from sounding the alarm of an attack. it was funny but later we thought if we had not got control of him we would have set wheel in motion that would have had big time consequences, but Pete never fell asleep on duty again..

Carbon black on binocular eye cups, but not so funny when the CO uses them.

Carbon black on the eye cups of binoculars on the bridge. Funny until the CO uses them.

Snow Snakes, stationed in GrandForks N.D. to this day I still have to laugh, I wasn't known as a prankers, and really didn't believe that this FNG was that dumb to believe the story I made up on the spot about how this things caused a frost bite type of injury, not likely to even hurt you with the cold weather gear we had to wear, but the others guys when with it and were all nodding their heads that I was giving him the straight dope, later that night we were all switching out for lunch and a lite snow had been falling so there were this little ribbons of snow (said snow snakes) blowing around on the parking ramp, I see one rolling toward the FNG yell out his name and say SNAKE!..Jump! He did, belly flopping onto the hood of one of our trucks, a good four foot verticle, everyone just died laughing, while I was helping him off the hood. He was a good sport about it anyway.

There are quite a few of the old classics from my years in the Army. Sending FNGs to get chemlight batteries, can of squelch, box of grid squares, a PRC-E8, blinker fluid, check for soft spots in the armor of M113 and then later the Bradly's, unscrew the cupola of the 113, get exhaust samples, boot polish on eye piece of binos, fill the XO's unsecure helmet with water an freeze it....
