How could I have forgotten that one.

these too: waveguide grease and the bit bucket

my infantry brother inlaw had the misfortune of learning the prick E7 thing the hard way (ouch)

Or a box of grid squares.

Don't forget the box of deflections and when the supply sgt. asks if he wants large or small deflections...

Or the can of track tension

Or the left-handed torque wrench.

We had a classic prank we would play on the newbies coming into our unit. We would send them to the "basement" to get a tube of "frequency grease" and that he needed to see the Sergeant Major to get the key (our building had no basement). The Sergeant Major, who was in on the gag, would hand over a key on a wooden stick that said "Basement" and depending on how gullible the new guy was, he'd spend the next half hour or so walking around the building looking for the door to the non-existent basement. Well the "basement key" was actually a real key that opened the door to the CO's office. On the rare occasions that the newbie was actually stupid enough to open the door to the CO's office, he'd get the earful of his life from whoever was inside. If the CO himself was there, he actually had a jar of vaseline in his desk drawer with a piece of tape saying "frequency grease" on it. He'd toss the jar to the newbie and tell him to "get the hell out of my sight."
