There are quite a few maintenance oriented people on here. So I figure this could be a fun topic.

My top 3 are as follows:

1.) X Truck not ACU painted
This one came up right after making the transition to the UCP uniform

2.) X Engine makes loud noise when running
This one came from a new soldier that from what we could tell had never been around a diesel

3.) X Truck won't start
Common problem with people that forget that they need to have the truck in Neutral to start

Have any to add?

One of the dumbest ones I have seen during motor stables was "low air pressure in front left tire" I looked at the PSG and told him to get the Soldier to put some air in the tire. The best part was that this was in a logistics unit by one of our own motor pool mechanics. True story....

I used to a PLL clerk and a PLL NCOIC so I have ready several thousand. I remember one that read, "pull stick on heater control broke".

SSG Jason Hoadley One of my PVTs wrote, "Something is wrong with the engine but I'm not sure what it is." He was learning on how to fill one out and didn't ask the NCO while he was helping out the other crew. The NCO came back after a few minutes to correct that and point out I the TM how to look for deficiencies.
