Brilliant Military warnings !!!!

Ha! That would be funny. Best part is we make them get all dressed up in PPE (Person Protective Equipment). A big apron, earplugs in their nose and ears, a full face shield with goggles underneath and rubber gloves and boots. And normally a E5 or E6 is there making sure they do it "right"

I just remember when I was in the Marine Corps, every damn thing was stenciled, stamped, or labeled "DO NOT EAT" in big letters. I also recall thinking that was probably a damn good warning to put on anything destined for Marines. Almost as "Jarhead necessary" as the "NO SMOKING" signs posted all over the explosive ordinance testing facilities on the ammo pier at Cubi Point NAS. Of course, that didn't stop one jackass in my squad from sitting on a crate of 155's and having a cigarette. His excuse? "Well there weren't no sign on this here box..."

There are many many many more. You just don't realize what kind of people the Military gets at times.

my favorite was always the box of colored grind squares.
then fuel for the chem lights ( the glow sticks you just break to activate )
brake fluid for the 5 ton ( 5 tons have air breaks and therefore dont need fluid)
the PU 55 yankie ( Pu 55 y )
3 rolls of flight line ( the lines on a airfield that are painted on)
prick e/7 ( e7 being a platoon sgt )


and " if the enemy is in range so are you "


on my last trip to iraq i was told making people run these useless errands now is considered hazing .. man how the army has changed ..
