We've all been guilty of "shamming" at one time or another, but some of us make it an art. My best strategy was always having two hats and leaving one on my desk in my office, so if anyone came looking for me they'd see it and assume I was still in the building somewhere. Brilliant. What are your best tactics, techniques, and procedures when it comes to shamming?

Our tv's were set it a way in the corners leaving space behind them so during cleaning stations I would take the corner rooms of the barracks and sleep behind them till the next shift and no one ever found me.

Walking with a purpose always made you look like what you were doing was important. Even if that meant walking to a skate spot on a ship lol

I took 2 assignment one was my normal spot on the tank line the other was assisting supply. I'd go to the motor pool and tell NCO supply needed me that day and then I'd call supply SGT and tell him I had a ton of Maintenance to do in motor pool.. Then I'd go get drunk in the barracks until last formation, I'd hit some mouth wash and go get released for the day.

Well when I was running my unit's NBC room I just told somebody in the orderly room that I had a meeting at battalion and I would just disappear. Pop back up a few hours later and no one had any idea.

My best I had at a bomb renovation booth at my office I was the one who repainted the bombs anyway. So I would turn on the negative pressure filters and the front door was impossible to open without using using a forklift. Hangover time in a heated paint booth in the winter in Japan. It was my own noisy little paradise.

Become friends with other units. Go to said units. Hide in plain sight. Or hold out in a RATT Rig.

On days I really didn't feel like fixing any vehicles, I'd just go underneath them and anytime someone walked by, I'd make my ratchet wrench start clicking away. As long as they hear the tool working, no one ever questions it! Haha!

As the armorer I always had a weapon taken apart on my desk. Whenever my commander tried to task me out he would see the weapon assume I am doing maintenance and find someone else to do the busy work.

If I had any, and I am not saying that I did, I've forgotten them.
