    Laugh Favorite joke equipment errands

    1. What mythical equipment requests have you, as a junior guy, gone to look for?

    2. As a crusty veteran, what is your favorite make-believe objects do you send your junior guys to search for?

    Thought about a poll, but I think there are too many out there...

    1. I remember asking around for shore line once, but I think I was in the Boy Scouts. Never happened as an LT - I had heard them all by then.

    2. While at Norwich (military academy) I had new "rooks" ask the active duty supply sergeant for grid squares and a can of squelch. The supply sergeant somehow knew exactly who to yell and throw sh!t at.

    1) I was told to go ask the Chief if he knew any PRC E9's or was certified as one......(Pr!ck E-9) Chief didn't like that one at all!

    2) I told a troop to get me a left handed ticket book......

    LOL

    We used that one in the comm field cause radio nomenclatures begin with PRC

    prc-119
    prc-104 etc.

    That is a good one! Always a nice one to get the old Staff Sgt or Gy riled up early in the morning.

    BTW for all those who dont get it PRC is pronounced prik!

    The "cable stretcher", "prop wash", and the lawn mower (real shi** job:d). I remember the "squadron dummy" being given an M1 (yes, I am old) with ammo during the Cuban missile outing. Scared the HELL out of me.

    You guys already mentioned the ones I've heard, but we've done some funny tricks to the Grunts we've flown.

    Pull out the ingnition key during flight, then enter autorotation while the crewchief yells 'turn it back on, turn it back on' or throw the key in the back with them and watch them scramble for it.

    Tell them the battery's dead and ask them to push start it. Then when they get it rolling, start the APU and watch them cheer like they really did something.
