    I served in the Colombian Marine corp and we needed to keep our barracks spotless all the time. One of the barracks had a fish tank with several tropical species, during a cleaning procedure of the tank one of the fishes died on us, we didn't thought much of it and were going to trow it away. Before we could do that our Sargent did the examination of the the cleaning and noticed the missing fish, he told him what had occur and that we were planing on trowing it away. He went furious. We were force to do a military ceremony for the dead fish in full white marine uniform, rifles, shooting and coffin included. Us a platoon of 32 men in full uniform was force to carry away a military funeral of 2 hours in middle of the Caribbean sun for a fish while most of the base watched.

    He had to stop because too many officers were laughing while taxiing their aircraft, and it was considered a hazard.

    A DS I had really disliked his platoon (he was a 2nd Platoon DS, I was in 1st) and smoked them by making them lowcrawl around the bay. He really liked that this one kid from my platoon could make really convincing crow noises and the DS grabbed him to watch his privates lowcrawl. Then he told them to say “I’m a worm!” And so they all started mumbling I’m a worm.
    Then hed make the kid who can make crow noises do crow calls, and then the DS told them to curl up so they wouldn’t get eaten by the crow. So every minute or so of them crawling saying “I’m a worm”, the guy would crowcall, and they curl up and say something like “please don’t eat me!” Volunteering to be his battlebuddy was the best thing I’ve ever done

    My dad used to have some problems with his temper when he was younger, while in basic training to enter the Air Force he popped off at one of the officers (probably the Drill Sergeant) and received a rather odd punishment the next morning.
    He was ordered to go around barracks and flip over every single leaf on the ground. The funny part is that it was hard to tell if you had already flipped over a leaf already or not, and since it was Fall new leaves would constantly fall every few minutes.
    Safe to say this had fixed my dad's anger issues, he's a pretty chill and fun guy to be around now, I'm proud to call him Dad.

At the next end of day meeting when everyone took out their notepads to write down the packing lists and other important info the look on our platoon Sargent's face was priceless.

    On basic we had something called the frame of wisdom, essentially just an old target frame from years back. It was located on the top of a massive hill, and wherever we were on camp, you could see it. If you fucked up, your NCO would say something along the lines of “go seek guidance from the frame of wisdom, you have 10 minutes.” Really fun to watch recruits scramble up this hill as fast as possible

    The officer would say “I’ll give it to you if you give me 100 push ups.” Once the recruit was done, the officer gave him a screwdriver, and my dad’s regiment just said “No! This is right handed!” And he’s go to the officer and this would continue until the recruit caught on

      My dad had a similar experience when he was in the navy. The officers would send a recruit to the docks to get a "table-top screw" to screw the tops of tables onto the table base. When they get there, the people on the docks give them some random piece of rubbish or other (in my dad's case, a block of wood) and send them back. Just a practical joke they would play, but funny nonetheless.
      Apparently, my dad didn't question it until he got back. He just thought they had a tool for everything. 😂

This Ensign comes walking up behind the MC and past them. The PO1 salutes the Ensign. The MC doesn't even acknowledge the Ensign's existence. The Ensign stops and turns around to the MC, "Excuse me chief. Aren't you forgetting something?" The MC turns to the Ensign with a WTF look, then the MC facepalms himself and says, "Oh I'm sorry sir."

Sgt says "I told you to chase it not catch it, but now that you've caught it you have to take care of it." The trainee had to take this duck everywhere with him for the rest of the day and somehow managed to fit it in his cargo pocket with the head sticking out. He even had to take it into the chow hall and feed it. In the chow hall an officer walks by and sees this bewildered and the trainee's Sgt just looks at him nodding smugly with a deep satisfaction.

    I was in 5 years active, when I reached 101st at the time reception was at the 5th group sf barracks, as it was being built else where.
    One day a guy wanted to go drinking with me at a club, a 17 year old. I declined to drink with him, didn't know the guy but after an hour this guy was sloppy drunk.
    We caught a cab back later, and I thought that was the end. But No...
    In the morning we had two SF sgts come to our formation, and explain how that young guy stumbled into thier rooms, threw up on thier beds and passed out on thier floor.

    New PFC in Korea. We had an officer fresh out of ROTC. (My military folks will understand this.) So he thought he knew everything about the army....yadda yadda. So we were understaffed and I was the training NCO in a platoon full of PFC's. Next highest rank was 1SG. so i ask this 2LT for his certs since he inprocessed 2 months ago and never turned them in to me. He goes on about how he didnt have to do them and how he out ranked me. So i told the commander and he informed me to think of an alternate solution to turning in his certs. If it was logical the CO would approve it. So after a few minutes I told the 2LT if he could bring me Flightline by COB I would not bother him about his Certs for 2 weeks. (This was around 0700) he agrees and disappears for the entire day. Said LT shows up at close out formation in a 1TON hauling gallons of fucking Flightline paint and an entire company of Soldiers from the Airfiled Detatchment (to include 1SG and CO of said Detarchment.) After we close out formation the Detachment 1SG starts talking to me, my CO and my 1SG about how funny it was seeing an angry 2LT asking his entire unit for flightline and everyone laughing at him. By the end of the week I had all of his Certs and he learned not to mess with a Soldier who has had way more experience playing F*** F*** games in the military.

    We used to do the saluting thing at the end to the officer students at NNPTC (Naval Nuclear Power Training Command). Thing is, while us enlisted outnumbered them by a significant margin, they were much more organized through merit of being in the same 2-3 classes while we were spread through out many more, so they were able to do it right back to us generally in similar if not superior numbers. It was painful for both sides, but we were all laughing the whole time we did it.
    My father likes to tell a story of when he was in the Air Force. He did weather-related things and he had this one new officer show up and start causing issues. Things like him being superior and the enlisted people were useless and he didn't need them, etc. Kind of standard egotistical new officer stuff. Well, my dad and his buddies started intentionally flubbing their weather information. Not by a lot, not anything major, but just enough that every single time this officer put out a forecast, it was wrong in some minor but noticeable way that would make him look incompetent.

    Navy Boot Camp, Great Lakes, 1979. I'm on barracks watch so I have to make a complete round of the barracks every half hour. The barracks is comprised of 6 companies of recruits, each company berthed in its own "compartment" (think of an open-air squad bay, like in Full Metal Jacket). So as I enter one of the compartments there's a guy on his hands and knees blowing the white tag from one of his T-shirts down the center of the compartment. With each breath, he had to stand to attention and yell "Get out of my life, you little white tag!", then kneel down and blow the tag again a little further down the compartment. I was like "Whatever, I imagine I'll see a lot weirder shit when I get in the fleet". I wasn't disappointed. Oh, for the benefit of the uninitiated, for some reason the Navy has this real hard-on for the tag labels in t-shirts. You're supposed to tear them out. Guess this guy didn't.

    well there was this time where myself and some others whilst still in school got to go out and have a week of army experience training. We the girls (just three of us) had one building and the boys another (around ten I think?) but anyway it was early evening and we were getting ready to enjoy the evening with a movie that we did every night at the end of the day. But before we were finished getting ready (mainly cleaning up the building for inspection) when we heard shouting. We all peered out of the upstairs window of the room we had been cleaning to see the Drill Sargent screaming at the boys who had forcefully been shaving one another's eyebrows off. We could only watch in wonder those who still had eyebrows were being forced down to do pushups (the boys of which who committed this crime were not fit enough to do more than ten at a time) to the sally song (bring sally up and bring sally down) and if they fail they start over. When the Sargent noticed us watching he told us to come down and give the boys a hand aka add extra weight with out kit bags. Safe to say that was one story we would not forget oh and of course we were told to refer to the pair as eyebrow one and eyebrow two

      We have something similar to that in Israel, usually for Juniors. Me and my entire grade had it recently, being Sophomores.
      It was from Sunday to Wednesday (was supposed to be longer, but we had some holidays right afterwards) and holy shit, we had to do a lot of push-ups. We literally had to do push-ups if our bottles weren’t all the way full. I’m talking about FULL full. It was sad, since sometimes we would try and fill our bottles with water, and the things would be completely dry, and then we wouldn’t have time to go and fill them up elsewhere because it was too far.
      Also, my team had to write attendance reports or something of that sort. We were apparently good enough to be upped by our commander, which makes things more difficult, yet also means we were better than the other teams. (It was fairly obvious, because when it was lights off, only our tent was quiet. The other tents were loud as hell.)

    We had fire doors at the end of each floor in our barracks (3 floor barracks). One room accomodates 6 soldiers, and this one soldier broke the seal on the fire door in second floor. His platoon leader was tired of the shit his platoon kept doing, so he ordered the soldiers room to guard that door 24/7 for the rest of the week. They weren't allowed any assistance from the others, only the victim soldier and his roomates were allowed to guard the door. Keep in mind this door led to a fire pole and nooooothing more lol.
    We loved seeing them in the middle of the night when we went to the bathroom, and they would sit at the end of the hall all dozy and barely awake.

    One of my teachers said how they each had a locker that had to be locked every night. One guy left his locker unlocked so his whole platoon had to take everything out of the room and put it out in the snow. Exactly how it was in the room. They all had five minutes to put it all back. He said after that every body would check their lockers like 5 times to make absolute sure they were locked.

    The salute punishment fro the LT was a real punishment at one point. The book Rifles for Wadie, which I think was based on a real civil war account said that when their Cpt got in trouble the entire company formed a line and saluted the man for 2hrs straight, with people running back to the back of the line after they went through, or something like that.

    Canadian combat engineer here,
    During our Dp1 (our basic trade training) we end up getting inspected almost every day and multiple times a day during the first few weeks, and there is a tradition that one of these inspections (without warning) will be something we all call "March of the sergeants". during a regular inspection, you would typically see two maybe three and on rare occasions up to all five of your instructors going from room to room looking you over and messing with you. But for the march of the sergeants, every combat eng master corporal and sergeant is invited to come help inspect your troop and you can expect 50 to show up, all with their own games.
    They got me early for having an air bubble in my canteen meaning it wasn't filled up all the way so I was given a full canteen and was made to run to every candidate on after the other shake my canteen in their ear, then the full one in their other ear and yell 'THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUBBLE AND NO BUBBLES" which wasn't fast enough so that eventually it just became "BUBBLES NO BUBBLES" but this let me see every room throughout the entire hour-long inspection.
    I would run into a room and everyone was at attention staring at the far wall, id run to the nest and everyone was clapping their shaving cream filled hands above their head in unison, the next two guys on opposite corners of the room were tossing the contents of their drawer each other that had all been laid out folded and measured to be clean and identical to everyone else. Next, it turns out an entire room of four guys had made the same mistake as me as they all ran out and started following me with their not quite full canteens, and right when they showed up some other guy had a foggy gas mask lense, so of course this means we all need to wear our gas masks. By this time there were also at least four other groups of guys running through the hallway bumping into our group doing similar punishments but yelling different things. Two were running with the buttstock of their rifles saying "My butt is filthy", another from my room had accidentally left his polishing cloth on top of his shined boots for inspection (he would leave it there to prevent dust) so he was spinning the cloth above his head yelling about how he protects his boots, two guys were walking in circles around each other yelling out each others service numbers, and a rather intimidating buddy of mine caught me off guard and got an inch away from my face and yelled as loud as he can "I'VE BEEN LIED TO MY ENTIRE LIFE" and then walked off to inform the next guy of this fact who was in bed, with all the lights off trying to sleep, because a master corporal said he looked tired. later a sergeant found him and said he was a casualty and had our team and the polishing cloth guy medevac him to the vending machines, at which point we found him to be breathing fine and have a normal pulse so we were asked why we were standing over this guy if he was perfectly fine and got right back to informing the troop of our lord and saviour bubbles no bubbles...shortly after they found one of our twenty litres (5 gallon) water jerrys had a bubble in it.
    After it all ended they had flipped every bed and emptied our rucks and drawers sometimes mixing it with your rooms mates stuff some times throwing it down the hall and maybe just using it to cover the room. this was all before breakfast and before we could leave the shacks it needs to be ready for another inspection.
    honestly some of the most fun I've ever had.

    As for the Jukebox story, in USAF basic trainees have a prank to do essentially the same thing.

    Truly, it taught me how to be patient. Also, my arms are pretty strong due to the constant motions of scrubbing.

    9:30 I saw something a lot like that when i was deployed. First Sergeant comes into our room, digging around in our wall lockers, looking under beds. Ask him what he's looking for. He says "Something I better not find". He then asks me and my two bunkmates to come outside. We see three guys moving out all the funature in their room and scrubbing the floors and walls with toothbrushes. They'd been pissing in bottles and then leaving them in the room. After they cleaned their room, the First Sergeant made them pack up their uniforms/gear, drive out to their work site, build a TEMPER tent, and live in it for a week, in Kuwait, in summer, with no fans or AC.
