School Staff Lead Students to Believe World War III Has Started

I remember when I was in Basic, we had that trick pulled on us.

For those who have never been in the military, when in Basic, the actual real world date becomes unimportant. You are no longer in the Real World. Days of the week and Days of Training are your calender.

We got woken up at about 0300 one morning and were told that our bases in Europe had been attacked. All the military was being mobilized. Our Basic Training was over. Forget your tech school, everyone is going straight into combat. Pack your shi.....uh bags now!

In between crapping our pants and getting our shi....uh bags packed we were wondering WTF! Is this really how it happens

We assembled downstairs along with the rest of the base is seems (thereby giving credibility to what we were being told). We formed up and our Flight leader was asked "What day is it?" He replied "Sir, today is Flight 216's 27th day of Basic Training Sir!" This was actually a pretty normal question to be asked, albeit not at 0320.

The response came back "It is also April 1st. Back to your barracks! Inspection at 0600 ladies!"

And the military wonders why drill instructors are sometimes murdered.

Ahh the good ole days. Boy they sucked.
