Best shenanigans you've pulled on O-4s

The original post made me smile . . . . and for some reason made me think of the MO, in a Whidbey squadron, that had his entire desk covered with first, a layer of creamy peanut butter, followed by a layer of Smuckers grape jelly. Awesome :)

You can always build a wall and put in a doggy door around cubicles, or you can lay down some sod, get a rooster and two hens, some chicken wire and build a nice chicken coop/run in their office, or you can glue a ton of dixie cups to some big pieces of butcher paper, fill the cups with water and cover their whole desk in it. All of these work out pretty legitimately, but be prepared to have some blowback come down on you.

If they've got rolly chairs, you can always take one wheel off of each and every one of them.

Dang one percenters... itemizing their deductions one 10¢ text message at a time to get out of paying their fair share... I demand to see scoolbubba's tax returns... why won't he release his flight school transcripts... you didn't build this website! (Did I miss any of the latest clichés?)

It's all Joboy, Skeeterman and the Lead Ensign's fault....

I'm obviously dating myself, but in my day, the game was always "get the XO". We knew the LCDRs were getting beaten up quite enough...they didn't need any more from us. And we kinda sorta respected their position and responsibility.

Started out when everyone gamed a game of Liar's Dice in the Cubi O'Club to make sure the XO bought the next round. Reached new heights when I WAS an O-4, and our XO was OINC of the Cubi Beach Det. Fake memo to all officers calling for "uniform disposition of everything in the stateroom medicine cabinets"...think an AOCS layout. Complete with diagram. This was couched as a way to get the Ship's XO "on our side". Next was a fake message from the Beach Det about the XO having energized the NAS Cubi Point CO and Chaplain about the wondrous sight of a "formal church call"...wherein our squadron officers would march up the hill from Alava Pier in Trop Whites "to the sound of muted drums"...and then attend Sunday Services en masse. I can't stop laughing even as I write this. If course, it wasn't the XO's head that imploded, it was the LDOs, etc., who were convinced they had to retire. Everyone else knew it was a frakin' joke. But it was a good 'un...

Ah, "Those were the days, my friend...we thought they'd never end..."

Sometimes it's "get the Skipper" (when it's deserved).

CAPT Carroll "Lex" LeFon, USN(Ret), who passed away this spring when the F-21 he was flying for ATAC crashed at Fallon, wrote the blog "Neptunus Lex" that was somewhat a legend in the military bloggers sphere. One of his children has put all of them back on line, and there are some real gems there.

His "get the skipper" tale is one of legend:

JOPA lives!!!!! I've seen porn inserted into the CoC speech book before, but this is pure brilliance.

The last incidence I heard of risque images (not even porn) inserted into the CoC book resulted in several NPLOCs and a letter of reprimand for the involved folks.

That used to be very common place back in the day. A nice vodka too in the water bottles. I hope I never meet someone who would NPLOC a JO for such attempts !!!

Our current bull and another AW member put some interesting photos into our last skippers COC speech book. Every other page was a nasty nate-esque calendar photo shoot.

Shit got weird in the desert.

So there was once an Air Force JO in a Navy squadron that for some reason, the then XO didn't too much take a shine to. The Captain was, and remains to this day, a generally funny and good dude. As is the standard in this man's military, The Captain, who shall remain nameless, checks out of the squadron for what he thought would be greener pastures - or bluer, depending on your perspective.

Fast forward, and as is also tradition, the then XO is now the then CO, and, this being the second change of command in the squadron for the Commander, is in the process of being relieved of command by the now then XO.

Well, a few of the enterprising, wholly corrupt and very clever members of JOPA, in a moment of unabridged brilliance, affixed to the back of each page of the now then CO's speech and script a photocopied likeness of The Captain.

Many disgusted faces were made by the outgoing CO, and many laughs were shared by JOPA - and a select few Hinges who were in on it.

On deployment, we loved our OPSO so much we decided to give him a present in the form of a gift (saran) wrapped van.

Still is for some, particularly SWOs. Like you said, the DH's get beat up enough.

1) Filled all drawers/lockers in the XO's stateroom with balloons. Then we filled the entire stateroom up. Didn't have a quick way to inflate them so the George blew them all up over a duty night.
2) Turned everything in XO's office upside down. The I love me wall, books, TV, inbox, computer, etc. Then turned all uniforms inside out.

XO getting ready to leave the command after a TRANSLANT outbound for deployment...on the way over we sold MWR tickets to have the XO "walk the plank" when leaving the command. It was a good moneymaker for MWR and could've been fun, but he chickened out claiming the water temperature was too cold.

1. Put all the DH's photos on "Hot or Not.com" JOPA bid up one particular guy and watched the other DH's freak out that he was beating them. Good for about a month's worth of deployment entertainment.
2. Filled the XO's car with coconuts on Diego Garcia after he repeatedly passed JO's walking or waiting for the bus. He flipped, so coconuts figured prominently in his office, room, car, etc for the rest of his tenure.
3. Same XO got a yellow foamie ear plug stuck so far in his ear canal on a flight that the IFT came up to the cockpit and told me he was opening the tool box for a pair of needle nose pliers so he could extract it. He ordered all of us to keep it a secret. So of course we wrote up a fake HAZREP and bribed our IT1 to put it on the squadron message board like it had been released. (We let the Skipper in on the game because we figured we needed some top cover). That was the most thorough (and most worthwhile) butt chewing of my career because XO was certain the entire P-3 community had seen a HAZREP where an O-5 1320 from our squadron had "failed to safely and proficiently use safety gear; to wit: yellow "foamie" hearing protection".
