What's your funniest "The Military Just Came Out Of Me" moment in the workplace?

I an Acute Dialysis Nurse in Tulsa (former 91B20 Army Medic) and rushing to get my dialysis equipment (2 LARGE eqipment carts) to the ICU unit for a critical patient. When I got to the elevator, there was a mass of nursing students in the way. When the elevator doors opened, I asked nicely: "I need to get to ICU, pardon me." Not one of these young skulls full of mush moved, let alone acknowledged my pressence. So I just stated in my clearest drill field voice: "MAKE A HOLE, PEOPLE!" The mushheads moved, got out of the elevator and I was on my way.

I only spent six years on active duty, but ets'd as a SSG and had been an acting PSG for the final year. One morning, on my way to work, I saw a PFC strolling down the street with his hands in his pockets, in uniform. Never thought about it, just pulled over and chewed him out. i realized after I was driving away, that I had been a civilian for almost a year.

six years after i got out i was walking with my civilian boss to check out a building across the street. as we approached the door to leave, i reached for my belt to pull my cover (which i no longer carried, of course!) and my boss said "why do you always do that when we go outside? some kind of ritual?" she got a kick out my explanation and said "old habits die hard. "

Unfortunately, when my daughter, in kindergarten, was learning how to use the monkey bars at the playground. R. Lee Ermey would have been proud as he was stomping a well-deserved mud hole in my fanny.

I used to work at a party rental place before coming back on active duty it was a summer gig so a lot of kids on summer break would work there....there was one particular 16year old that would just run his mouth and talk trash to the older guys one day after working an overnight and the kid starts running his mouth again After drawing my knife hand I assertively advises him to shut his c*ck holster and get back to work

Not directly related to me being "military" but one time I was in a meeting and in a lively discussion I was searching to find the right way to phrase something mid sentence and a Director started to "mock" me by making stutter sounds, since i was opposing his idea.

I stopped speaking, turned to him and simply stated "no, I am not the one to do that to." The rest of the meeting was kinda tense and quiet.

I tend to use suck it up better cup a lot. I have also told a subordinate that he was as useful as a soup sandwich and a football bat combined

Nurse here so I use military lingo at work. I've been caught muttering SSDD, FUBAR, Hurry up and wait and big and tall watch them fall when drawling blood. My staff at the long term care facility call me nurse do it right or not at all.

Best WTF moment ever.
I worked with a former squad leader on a volunteer fire department.
One day, his Fire Engine crashed. He was trapped, with his leg pinned inside a vehicle. He was in a lot of pain.

He kept yelling he had to get out, and no matter how much pain he was in, he kept trying.

Out of nowhere, I yelled "AT EASE" at him.

He stopped and forgot all of his pain, looked up at me and said "I out rank you. you M...F...".
He laughed for a half second and calmed down, long enough for him to be extricated.

Out of one of the harshest conditions, both of us had ever been in, We managed to have an funny moment.

Was working on an accident scene as a volunteer firefighter. We were landing a medevac helicopter and there was a person walking in the field. The military voice came out with a very loud, "YOU! HERE! NOW"! He came a running, I looked at him and yelled "GET THE F OUT OF HERE, THAT WAY!" People around me just looked like who the heck was that guy!
