My best unit in-processing story. Anyone beat it?

I was working as the Training and Operations NCO at my last unit located on Fort Belvoir. Everyone else was out of the office for lunch and I was just relaxing while reading some news articles. Then I heard this strange clanging before a newly assigned soldier wearing a combination of medieval chain and plate mail armor armed with a pike and double-edged long sword (sheathed) approached my desk. He snapped to attention, saluted, handed me his orders. He stated “I am reporting for duty sir! Is thou who will keepith record of my humble attendance and service!?”

I replied “In a manner of speaking yes. However, you do know that this year’s ‘full battle rattle’ is BDUs, LBE, and K-pot?” He said “With all due respect sir! That would be out of character on this day!” I said “Ok Lancelot…” He interjected “Sir! I am not Lancelot, I am Lord Galgamire!” I said “My apologies Lord Galgamire. However, we are on duty and your orders indicate your name is Specialist Heber.” He replied “Sir! Are you ordering me to be out of character!?” I said “For your sake, I suppose I am.

You have about 15 minutes before the commander and first sergeant return and I am willing to forget this interaction occurred.”

He said “Dost thou know I made this armor myself!? Would your Lords not be impressed by my skilled craftsmanship?!”

My response “I’m not sure impressed is the word I would use Specialist Heber. My advice to you is to get out of here now and report back in this century’s uniform before they confiscate your weapons and armor and lock you in the hospital or brig.” He said “Your counsel is most wise! I shall depart immediately!”

He came back about 45 minutes later in the uniform prescribed on the training calendar and introduced him to the commander and first sergeant without informing them of what had occurred.
