well that nailing branch into a dead tree, keeps me laughing...lol good one.!
well i served back home.!
i had few good ones.! which i got in trouble.!
in my unit we had those old land rovers from ww2 kangoroo! well we had to refresh the paint(yes hand brush..lol) and make them nice a shiny, for the inspection, but of course i didnt. so i had the great idea to run a layer of gun cleaning oil over it, with a cloth.! which it work, was shiny, bright camo colors.....until one of my buddies speed like crazy and a cloud of dust covered my car....well you know oil and dust dont really mix together.!!! it was a disaster.!
oh also i used to clean my g3a3 everyday, it was my favorite thing to do but i was using wd40. the black paint of the gun almost gone, and turn into a brush aluminum! when my officer ask me why i told him it was a limited edition, which didint really helped my situation.!
well this 2 incidents gave me the unforgetable experiance of picking up old cigarettes, and clean lots of weapons.!

It scared me more than anything. I was swinging that bat as hard as I could, and he was absorbing the blows with his shins with not much more reaction than a grunt and a grimace. Granted, it's diameter was probably doubled by the amount of duct tape wrapped around it for padding, but still...

I should left the other post for thing you had to do when in trouble. Man that was bad, but boy did I screw up.

I remembered something else. Painting a yellow curb...yellow. It wasn't really faded. Wasn't special paint either. I just had to be done. I only could find a 3" brush to do it with.

Ah the fun stuff.
I am sure you always sent out the FNG to get the I.D. ten Tango forms from PAC. Back when I started in the Army our commo were PRICK-77, so we ask the FNG to get the 1sgt's PRICK-E7.even sending them off to another unit or HQ for a box of grid squares. Or lets see, the last unit I was in was a heavy engineer unit(94th ECB(H) ) so we had FNGs looking for soft spots on bull dozer blades. Showing up to work on a Monday morning at o' dark :30 and seeing all the dozers with chalk mark circles with "x" in them made my week.

Oh one time when I was leading PT I had a platoon running around our battalion CO's house singing x-mass songs.

But yes there is some fun work do be done in the Army. Hell I once saw a guy swiping a dirt motor pool in Kosavo.He told me he had to sweep off all the dirty dirt and get clean dirt. There are more but that's all I can think of right now

We made 'em go get a hundred yards of flight line, windshield wiper sharpeners, chemlight batteries, the keys to the basement, blinker fluid for the HMMWV, a B-A-1100-N with an ST-ring attached (Like the ID ten Tango, it's obvious when written down) and secure it with an ST-one outside the shop. Working in comm, it was always fun to send a newbie to go get some frequency grease to see if that would help fix a radio...

How about axe/e-tool qualifications?

LOL Commo stuff is fun, I have never heard of the frequency grease, that is classy.

Here is a quick one before I go off to work. I once gave a guy a trash bag, and told him to go get an exahust sample off the dozer. Watching him try to place the trash bag over the exahust pipe then start it was comedy gold. I think it was on the 10th time that he used duck tape, and then blew the bag apart.

Sounds like an important job to me
What about that guy who went for a joyride in a tank from his own base.
