Man, where to begin....
At my INDOC, this kid told the upperclassmen that he wanted to shave his head. They told him to wait till until after the hygenie inspection. He decided to ignore them, and started shaving going to work on his about 1/4in of hair with a bic razor. Since this is towards the end of indoc, we're all out on the wall waiting for the upperclassmen to come do the hygenie inspection. All of us except for this one kid. We keep yelling at him to get on the wall. Right before the upperclassmen come on to the hall, he pops out of his room and onto the wall with his tighty whities on, a pt tshirt, and his head is covered with shaving cream. He's already started shaving his head, so there are a few razor trails on the front of his scalp, but he's been doing a ****ty job and there's blood mixing in with the shaving cream and running down his face. We all lost it, when the upperclassmen came onto the hallway, they lost it too. They were almost on the floor they were laughing so hard. And threw it all, this kid just stands there not moving or laughing with this gomer pile look on his face.
As a squad leader, I had some 4/c in my squad forget their uniform shoes in a friends car, so they walked all the way across campus in khakis and whatever shoes they could find. As a brand new squad leader, I walk into our wardroom and find one of my 4/c wearing bright orange running shoes with her khakis. The other 4/c at least had enough common sense to wear some black boots.
When I was a platoon commander, I had to take one of my 4/c to company mast for showing up late an excessive amount of times. This kid is standing there giving his side of the story in front of the CoCO when the CoCO asks him to leave the room. The CoCO then turns to me and says, "why does MIDN X have a tongue stud in during a company mast?" My chief goes out and checks the 4/c, and sure enough, he has a tongue stud in. Turns out it was brand new, so he had to leave it in. The mast went from a short talk about promptness into this kid being reamed.
