What's the most ironic task you ever had to complete for your unit?

We had this go on daily at Officers Training School in the 1970s....the rock got painted with the squadron colors and stayed that way for 24 hours until another squadron got to it...and then we had to salute the damned thing...

I was commanding a Finance Unit and we got hit hard with Spring Cleanup. I had no soldiers in the office, so I decided to do Spring Cleanup with the soldiers. I also liked to roll up my sleeves and get dirty with the soldiers. I was the weed whacking guy and it threw a rock into a soldier's vehicle as he was passing by which broke a side window. I told him to contact base claims office. A couple weeks later I get a call from some civilian asking who I was and went over the claim with me. I could hear it in her voice that she was having a hard time understanding and grasping a CPT was weed whacking during Spring Cleanup. lol

many moons ago before i started flying, our platoon, and by platoon i mean E-4 and below, had to sweep the frost off of the parking lot at the officers club. this was in Germany, in the middle of winter, so the frost did not melt. had to bag it up and throw it in the dumpster. Oh, and we had to do it in MOPP-4.
