How many of us did this in our younger days?

How many of us, as a young SN/AN/FN or PO3 may have gotten a little disgruntled and did (or wanted to do) something like this?

Don't you mean how many of you still do this?

So, last year at my Annual Training event at the glorious base FT Hunter-Liggett, CA, my PM unit decided to send a jump team out to another base camp to live and work there (turns out that wasn't a bright idea). Well, the unit running the CSH decided that they needed a roving guard to protect the perimeter of the CSH. Initially, the roster consisted of SPC and below. Then they decided that it needed to be SSG and below since they didn't have enough people. They also had a bad habit of not telling anyone until it was their "turn" for duty. So, I had got woken up the sweet soft sounds of some PFC whispering "SGT, your turn for guard duty." I thought this was bullsh*t since I was never notified, but got up and dressed and went to my post. Luckily for me, the SOG was waiting on site to give instructions. As soon as I had seen the SOG, I asked why wasn't this put out and where is the DA 6 posted. Her response was, there is no posted DA 6, that the command element just wrote names down on a piece of paper and that was the duty roster.
