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

The Lieutenants in my Battalion would call the orderly room of another company, identify themselves as the Battalion Commanders assistant, and state the Battalion CDR wanted to see Lieutenant "X" in his office. The message would be passed, Lieutenant "X" would go to BN HQ, knock on the BN CDRs door, and state "Sir, you wanted to see me?" BN CDR would state "No...why would I want to see you?" An interesting sequence of events...

Just before the BDUs came out, the men wore permanent press green fatigues in the Army. The women wore all cotton fatigues with a pocket on the left arm & pants with no pockets on the behind. I was in AIT learning Morse Code. Students sat at booths with headphones & the instructors sat in a a control room looking out at us. One of our crazy guys said they never really pay attention to us. He was going to prove it. He borrowed a set of female fatigues. Put his name tag on it & the right rank. Come Monday morning he shows up to first formation in the female fatigues. We got our 30 minutes to go to the DFAC before classes. While in there, one of the cooks was checking his butt out & then got freaked out when the prankster turned around turned around. We were all dying laughing. We get to our classes & sure enough, the instructors never notice. They know something isn't right but they can't figure it out. At lunch time, the prankster changed back into his male uniform. When he returned to class, the instructors figured out what he did. He got an Article 15 for it but he was proud of what he had done.

A not-well liked soldier was leaving the unit in Korea and heading to CONUS. He had not made a lot of friends due to his method of operating his supply room. I still don't know who did this. Someone called a certain number and told the drug police that he was carrying internally. We later received an email from the soldier complaining that on arrival in LA he had been subjected to "enhanced customs inspection" including a body cavity search. Ugghh...

At a military junior college, some of the staff sent the MS4 students to find feathers for a machine- gun nest. A couple of the students went to a chicken ranch, filled several pillow coverings with feathers, then hurried to their rooms only to learn: Nope. Wrong color.

(I got cyber-screwed. I started this post and it posted right at the start. I couldn't get rid of it, so now I'm just explaining why there's a pointless post on the board.)

Being my units IMO, I would do things like flip computer screens (CTRL+ALT+Up Arrow, few people knew about that) when Soldiers left their CAC card unattended in their keyboard. Had 2 female Sergeants: one an Alabama fan, the other LSU. The Alabama one left her card in and the LSU one asked me to change her desktop picture to an LSU player who had made Sportscenter (some punter). It was reversed the very next week when the LSU fan got a picture of Bear Bryant on her desktop. Eventually I got both of them at different times by putting a picture of Joe Paterno on theirs.

We (one of us... won't say who) tagged the Commanding General when he came overseas to inspect the unit. It was hilarious watching a full-bird chasing after him, trying to remove it without the General noticing. Once he did, he almost looked proud and said, "Ah, they got me."

Lean the refrigerator in the commons of your quad in the barracks against some poor SOBs door bang on the door and when they open it the refrigerator falls on them......just saying

Ses like every newbie at Danang Air Base was sent to get a" bucket of backblast" I'm sure the Air wing guys either laughed at it or got tired of hearing it all the time.

Except for basic I was stationed with a guy in the Philippines, Texas, and Nam, so I knew him pretty well. When we were in Phu Bai at the 8th RRFS aka ASA. The was a 3 or 4 star that came for a command visit. While there he put his cover on a rack outside the comm center which my friend thought was too good to pass up. Yes, he grabbed the cover with stars and all and kept it. There was never any mention about this “incident” so no one got any disciplinary action. But I thought it was one of the funniest things I ever heard about during my 4 years with ASA. The perps nickname was, “Byrd” but I will never reveal his real name.
