army

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. 

Ah yes, another fine example of a liar getting caught up in the middle of weaving their web of lies. In this case, the fake marine gets called out, and then proceeds to lash out and threaten to arrest the dude who called him on his antics. The irony being that the fake marine was the one who could get arrested. When will the liars ever learn? Maybe some time in the future. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

Military members are sharing some hard-earned advice about the things they wish they've have known before joining the military. If you're on the fence about joining the military yourself, you might stand to benefit from these nuggets of wisdom. 

Yeah, we googled em. Pretty legit. We're as surprised as you. It kind of makes sense, if you consider how long people have been around, and all the things we've done, that someone would've thought to enlist a bear in the military or that multiple people would have died in a literal whiskey flood. History is crazy.

These drill sergeants almost gave in to laughter. The following stories of recruits being all kinds of unintentionally funny, when under moments of high-pressure and great stress, are too good. Some serious funny can escape through the cracks of that hard time serving in the military. Thanks to the Redditors for sharing these stories and letting us know that even people in the military can have fun. 

When someone says something profoundly stupid, there's no sense in trying to argue with them. It's better to just let it happen and hope that life takes care of it.
