What is the Dumbest thing you ever did?

My second enlistment I went from Field Artillery to Meddac. Huge culture shock. My first day in my new unit I was tasked with taking a detail to police the motor pool. The first person I selected was a female who informed me that she didn't feel like it (Medical units aren't like the real Army).

Without thinking I gave the standard Artillery response "WTF? Does your P***y hurt? GTF down to the motor pool." You don't say that to a female (ever really) in the modern army. My career essentially ended then and there.


Serious dumbest decision I ever made, my last assignment was the admissions office at Evans Army Community Hospital. While I was on terminal leave my Platoon Sergeant offered me a job as a GS employee as MY OWN REPLACEMENT.

All of my time in service would have counted towards retirement. I would have had government benefits. I would have started out as a GS6. I would have had full retirement in 2008.

I turned him down.
 
My best friend and i, about age 14, made a polish cannon with a cardboard carpet tube, a coffee can, duct tape, a croquet ball, and a gallon of Coleman white gas.

It was spectacular, and we had to work fast to put out fires on the garage, shed, near by trees and a lot of grass, luckily not on us...
