This teacher's wholesome moment with a rather moody student ended up coming full circle in the best way. The universe speaks in mysterious ways. It sounds like the teacher left a profoundly positive impact on the student who was going through a tough time. You never know how far an act of kindness can carry someone down the wild road of life. 

This fun AskReddit thread has drill sergeants describing the funniest things that they ever heard recruits say. It makes enough sense that recruits would be apt to spew off some nonsensical things while under the pressure of a new environment, brimming with all kinds of emotional and physical tests. You've probably got to learn to hold a firm grasp on a solid sense of humor. 

What a wonderful example of two people being absolutely ridiculous. In all fairness, this dude started it when he pretended to be a marine while texting a random number. From there, the person on the receiving end of the text decides to play the catfish card right back. Talk about some master level reversary right there. Beautiful work, really. 

Even though this guy's girlfriend might be putting together those TikToks out of the kindness of her heart, that doesn't mean that it's also not generating a whole lot of flack for the poor guy. The dude's already just trying to muddle through a reasonably peaceful life as a soldier on a military base. Last thing he needs is to get continually roasted by fellow soldiers on his base, for the ridiculous TikToks his girlfriend keeps churning out. Maybe if she just steered the focus away from their relationship, and put it on other stuff, it'd work out a bit better for everyone. 

Man, oh, man, using one's status to take advantage of others is about as low as one can go. There are bad apples in every bunch though. Fortunately, justice was delivered to this mechanic. 

Little did this lying fool seem to realize, but pretending to be a marine is the thing worthy of arrest in this ridiculous scenario. When will these liars ever learn that the rest of the world isn't having any of their BS? Maybe sometime in the future. 

Man oh man, sometimes the brain takes a lunch break, and a true fail presents itself. Take for instance, this soldier who microwaved a can of Chef Boyardee (with the lid on), on an active military base. Naturally, the resulting mess created a nice eruption of chaos, given the environment. 

We're talking pennies here, man. But alas, the soldier gets overpaid, and then on top of having to pay the Army back, they're required to mop the floors. 

Maybe what we're calling weird is absolutely normal for a lot of folks in the military. The mind is apt to find some funny and absurd ways to keep itself entertained, while out in the middle of nowhere. With all the gear around, the resulting situations one can get into are quite ridiculous. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for service members to share the worst of their "military wife" stories. The resulting stories are filled to the brim with brutal acts of infidelity. These are just plain old sad. We hope the service members affected by these cheaters have moved on and found people to treat them better in life. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people who served in the military to share their creepiest, most paranormal experiences. The following stories are chilling to the bone. Nothing quite as spooky as being out in the middle of the ocean, and seeing what look like abandoned or (unfortunately) inhabited boats eerily floating around. Or how about being sober and clearheaded as you've ever been, and seeing unexplainable flashing lights up in the sky? Yikes.
