I was exempted from a parade once because the TI's pants were too short, per the commander. He looked around and asked me what size my dress pants were and when I told him, I was ordered to loan him my pants and I got to stay in the dorm. It was a very hot day in San Antonio so I didn't mind staying in the A/C dorm at all.

Not from MY Basic Training, but from while I was Training NCO for a BCT company.
I was in charge of a detail delivering training aids. We had the training aids and three or four trainees in the back of the truck, and another trainee driving. Traveling down one of the main streets on post, we needed to turn left at the next intersection. I told the driver "Turn left at the red light."
A moment later, we proceeded straight through the intersection without turning. I asked the driver "Why didn't you turn at the light?"
His answer has stayed with me forever as a perfect example of military training...
He answered "But, Sergeant, that light was green."

LOL! Yep, it's drilled into your head to just follow orders and don't ask questions!
