"Frame Stretcher" was my worst.

I worked for Marvin's Windows for 2 years, had a quality control guy come around 3-5 times a day. Each time he had something that would leave me standing there with a dumb look scratching my head. Funny thing is we became friends. I never got angry about it, never took it personal. And within a week or two I had come backs he'd never heard.

Let the kid pay his dues.

Then send him for a bucket of propwash.

One shop was a bucket of steam.

I once sent a production foreman to the tool crib for a set of left handed allen wrenches. He was in the way and being a pain.

Pre-dug post holes, stripped paint, pipe stretcher, spirit level bubbles, AC battery, vapor lock key, etc…looked for almost all of them working at a hardware store at 16.

I got a car guy once with muffler bearings. Told him they spin an impeller and helps pull the exhaust out. And you gotta change them cause of the heat locks them up, kills your mpg.

Worked in heavy repair shop. One of the other mechanics handed his gopher a styrofoam cup and hurry up a get him some gasoline. He could almost get back before the gas melted the cup. Had to stop him before we ran out of cups. GW

I was once sent out for a id10t form, I brought him back U R A Id10t form. Sent someone once to look for fallopian tubes.

[HWooldridge]

We always sent people to look for the “brass magnet”. The hunt could go on for hours.

[jakharath]

Oval pipe, board stretcher, sky hook...

[CastingFool]

A bucket of prop wash, 100ft of flight line, metric crescent wrench.

I used to manage a restaurant, got a couple guys at times to: mop the walk in freezer, and mop the driveway in winter. Had to be clean you know...

A friend who is a prankster needed some clamps, and since his mom was in town, she volunteered to get them. What kind she asked. "Not C" clamps he says. So, she asked for them... (Say it in your head a few times.)

No way do you tell him. Just allow the sweet, sweet tradition of some light hazing continue for generations. The high point of my military experience was when I had a new guy looking for 150' of fallopian tube for 2 days.

These are typically stored next to the flight line, grid squares, board stretcher, EO and UT punches, bulkhead remover, ID-10-T forms, sound powered phone batteries, and the MSDS for A.I.R. The kind in the bucket, not the can, of course.

Collecting exhaust samples in trash bags is always acceptable training exercise.

We had one particularly bright guy over in the desert who was sent to get a bucket of sand from behind the smoke pit for the terrain model. Literally just sand, in Iraq. Came back 2 hours later with an empty bucket because he couldn't find any.

Metric crescent wrench, Left handed bacon flipper.

I was sent to get a cable stretcher when a newbie in my unit. Went to the EM club and spent the rest of the day there. When asked why I didn't come back I told them I heard the guy that had it was supposed to stretch a cable at the club next, but he never showed up.

[Ickisrulz]

I have never understood hazing or making the new guy look and feel stupid. It is a waste of time and resources. When in my power, I never allowed it.

[DocWatson]

I've never had the pleasure of being given (or giving) such a request, but I've read about "left handed ___" being one. My mother was an Ob/Gyn nurse, so "fallopian tubes" would not work with me.

[Hannibal]

Rotor wash and aircraft keys during military service.

I was fortunate enough to have an education in the school of hard knocks pre-military. Just went off somewhere quiet and had a Coke and smoke.

Dynamic braking fluid, relative bearing grease, the list never ends.

[45workhorse]

BFA for the mortar tube, feathers for the machine gun nest, Prick E7 (Company Gunnery Sergeant), illuminated grid squares..... the list just keeps going and going!
Good times, now days probably be fired for hurting someone's feeling (aisle seven in Walmart if you need to buy some)!
