army

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.

This is just beautiful stupid. 

You might find that you yourself believed some of these dumb things for a while, or even to this day. But hopefully not the bear one. The bear one is just plain dumb.

Both painful and AMAZING to read. 

Consider yourself informed, some people don't think earthquakes exist.

He all but asked for it!
