1. One weekend, I decided to go to my buddy's room to see what he was up to. Bang on his door and when I walked in, there were two of our FO's standing there, both drunk, both wearing nothing but matching speedos, one holding a guitar, the other holding a saxophone. I immediately turned around and walked back out.
2. I think it was 2011, a tornado tore through Fayetteville. It didn't really touch Bragg at all, but it knocked out power on post. Needless to say, we spent the next couple days drinking liquor and piss warm beer in the barracks, in the dark, but that's besides the point. One of our cherries (who didn't have a car) asks me to give him a ride to his girlfriend's place and I oblige. When I came back to the barracks, guys were outside in the courtyard launching water balloons full of chem-light juice at each other with one of those big sling shots. "Eh, whatever, at least they're having fun," I think to myself. Get up to the 4th floor of the barracks (where my room was) and the walls and floor are glowing. Because they were splattered with chem light juice. Luckily, it dried clear(ish), but we were never able to entirely clean it off.
3. Walking back to the barracks from the chow hall when I find what looked like a turtle that had been run over by a truck, but the turtle was on the sidewalk, nowhere near the parking lot or any road. Turns out some shitbag I had never met had just gotten released from the brig that day. For whatever reason, the first thing this sick fuck decided to do was go to one of the lakes and catch a couple of turtles. Found out he was up on the 4th floor of the barracks, basically pushing them off the smoking pit area. When staff duty found out what he was up to, he ended up getting a ninja-punch or going back to the brig. Can't remember which exactly, but something not good.

A private tied to a bed mattress on the floor at a basic training unit in Aberdeen Proving Grounds. I was having to do barracks inspection as extra duty of WO school. Saw the tied down private and asked the on duty NCO what is going on here? He said she was drunk and running wild thru the barracks area and we had to tie her down to control her. Sounds like you got it under control SGT.

Wow different lockers. Hopefully better than what I had back in the 80's.

The latrine at Dona Anna Range, 10 toilets with no stalls or doors or anything else. Privacy was not even an option.
