On my first night of dorm guard, the TI kicked on the door and ordered me to let him him...
I freaked out, didn't challenge him, pushed on the bar, and allowed him to enter.
He proceeded to verbally rip at me, waking everyone in our flight up.
I regained my composure, and explained to him that the door latch was broken and there was nothing I could do to prevent him from entering...he went to the other side of the door to investigate the latch.
As soon there was 1/4-inch clearance between him and the door, I slammed that freaking door shut, looked at him through the little window, and shouted, "Sir, may I see your ID card and your authority to enter!"
I got a round of applause from the flight I was "guarding", the TI simply shook his head in self-disgust and left, never to harass me again!

LOL. That's good. There are so many good stories from the military.
