I know these will all differ per MOS but I have seen some of the funnier things on here, acronyms, movies, and such. So here goes. What are the most memorable pranks that you have pulled on the NEW privates.
I guess the most memorable one that we did in the Mechanized Infantry where to have a bunch of privates a top a M-113 jumping up and down to test shock movement on the tracks. Platoon Sergeant was pissed cause we had all the new guys in the platoon and one older guy up there for a total of 10.

"Yes, Private. But, first, you must fill out the ID-10-T form to get all that gear..." Lol

I had a CQ runner call down to the 24 hour shoppette to find out what time they close.

In 67'I had a Captain tell me to go to supply and get him a TA 312 (hand crank phone), WD1 (wire to connect the phone to another phone), and a T-R-E-E! i had a heck of a time finding the T-R-E-E. When the Supply Sergeant started laughing at my request, it dawned on me what the T-R-E-E was.

i like coming into the gate on post, switching my patches around and asking the guards where Sheridan Road is... (as Im sitting on it) one guard actually gave me directions, "ohhh go down to that light and turn right, thats sheridan"... so did the lady at Burger King drive thru many years ago... good times, good times...

When we went to gunnery while stationed in Germany we had to use the rail system to get the tanks and Bradley's to Grafenwoehr. Every now and then we would be blessed to get a brand new private in a few days before and tell him that he needed to go get his train ticket from the Squadron CSM!! That was never a boring report back of "why do you guys hate me so much?" LOL.

Being in a Paladin Artillery unit, we would hand a Private some chalk and a ball peen hammer and tell them to check the armor for weak spots. Come back in like 30 minutes and the vehicle looked like a jaguar with all the circles on it.
