Here's one for you....

I think it was Spring of 1984. We (2nd Bn) were on post support. We got word that the Post commander's wife (Can't remember Gen name) didn't like all of the pine cones all over Fort Bragg. So for 2 weeks we walked/drove around picking up pine cones. Two weeks later, apparently the Gen's wife decided it didn't look natural without the pine cones so we drove around for another week throwing pine cones out of jeeps and duece and halves.

It sucked at the time but I still laugh about it now when I think about it.
