Don't worry, we will explain everything. Just tell Team Sergeant to get his PRC/E8 and chemlight batteries, and get ready to learn.

Navy version
We'd send the " boots" to the engine room for a bucket of steam and 6 feet of waterline.

Don't forget to get the bubbles for the cross level and elevation vials.

Right after he checked the air pressure on a D7... priceless to watch the new guy wander aimlessly in the motor pool with a pressure gauge looking at all the tracks...

Motor Pool shenanigans
Our Motor S'arn detailed a fresh private to get an exhaust sample from a Humvee.
Sure enough, that determined young man came back to the Motor Sergeant with a big brown garbage bag full of deisel fumes and carbon monoxide.

GEEEEZZZZZZ ! That was ME! I was the new kid in the civil engineering squadron's heavy equipment section at Dover AFB. (Had to OJT since I was medically grounded after completing all the loadmaster courses.)
I really felt stupid after that.

In the middle of a warfighter in III Corps, I called a young Captain from afar and had him go to the "Battle Major" running the TOC in the middle of a fight and demand an immediate resupply of grid-squares. He never forgave me for the ass-chewing he got. I still giggle about it.

Anyone higher than a 2LT or PV2 deserves such an ass-chewing! (Unless he was a dentist or doctor.)

You arent the only one, we got many of our new privates that way, along with checking the dozer's blade for weak spots "smack a hammer against it and 'listen' for a certain tone." Was music to my PSGs ear to see how many PVTs he could get on the hill at once...

A running classic at Ft Campbell back in the late 80's was to send a new private down to Range Control and tell them to turn on the range safety fans on Range 50 for our training. The range control guys would send them to the Provost Marshall to get the proper form (DA-8008) who would send them back to the unit to make sure there was a PRC/E8, which ended in an ass chewing and automatic assignment to the range detail.
It was almost a rite of passage in 1/502 until we screwed it up by coming in as a COHORT platoon (28 newbies all at one time). Interestingly enough the guy that they ran it on out of our group was, I kid you not, PVT Lame. Great guy and ended up with the nickname "tiny".
