Pretty good stunt... but they'll be paid back.
One of my favorites was when Eighth Squadron covered the top of the planetarium in black plastic and decorated it to look like an 8-ball.

Great going Navy! (this coming from an Air Force retiree). There will be the obligatory punishments and lectures but these guys will live in cadet memory forever.
OK Air Force, you've been called. We're waiting!

Reminds me of the days of shaving cream bombs, rumbles, wildmans.... Anyway, BZ to those mids. No more stealing mules and goats, so this is about as good as you can get.
