What Funny Military Punishments Have You Heard Of?

nothing more frustrating then filling sandbags with a fork

When I was a butter bar in the Air Force at a Helicopter Maintenance Unit we had a maintainer refueling a helicopter without the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). What was required was a face shield, a fire retardant smock, and fire retardant gloves, along with having his ABU blouse on. He did not have any of this on. My Chief decided his just punishment was to have all of this equipment on for an entire week everywhere he went while carrying a huge book that we put on the covers "I failed to follow Technical Orders (TO or Tech Data) and was unsafe"

Upon returning from my first tour in Afghanistan, I was in charge of the 2-3 Soldiers PCSing/ETSing/MEBing. We had to do police call around the building, and one of them starting to complain and whine about it. So me, being the fresh E-5 "buck sergeant" trying to establish my authority, needed to lay down the law. I thought to myself, "this dude is acting like a little kid..." and put him in the corner for Time Out. My 1SG walked in, saw this, asked what the hell was going on, and when I explained the situation, he nearly died laughing.
