I only had 4 1/2 years on active duty but it was a life time of mayhem.  ever had your distibutor cap stolen for a week end?  Had every guy on the barracks floor put his dirty laundry in yor room on inspection day after spendind all weekend cleanning it.  Tape over your key hole for your lock.  your furniture turned up side down for an inspection the next month.  that stuff is all funnier than a one legged cat on ice, except for one thing those prank that are so hillarious where not pulled by me.  Yep I was the prankee on all of those and that is just a few.

Tell me Sergeant Major(retired) how would you react if on inspection day you fell the troops out of formation to stand inspection and you get to my room PFC Armyblank(PFC for the second time mind you) open my door and the place looks like abomb explode in a chiniese laundry.  a month later dureing BN inspection my door swings open and all of my furniture is upside down dress right dress where it should be matressheld to the bed by 550 cord complete with hospital corners intacked.  I am so glad the CSM didn't make me open my wall locker that time.  Since I was in HQ platoon I got picked for Guide-on duty.  First shirt was all about the colors being the first one in formation.  20 min prior to formation I had to be standing front and center.  I just knew it would be a bad day when I looked at my window and see one of my buddies waiving.  with the crappy door locks they had all it took was a credit card and boom you where in someones room.
