It's National Let's Laugh Day today! We asked some of our fabulous readers to share their Most Laughable Military Moments with us and they did NOT disappoint! We got so many great stories (and some cringe-worthy ones as well) that left us in fits of gut-busting laughter, and we wish we could post them all! We decided to save some of them for next year AND give YOU a chance to submit YOUR Laughable Military Moments too...enjoy! 1. Airport Calamity Picture This : "PCSing from Korea to Maryland ... loose kid in airport. Kid unfazed. Me unhinged . Dad ... dying of laughter ... other kids .. could care less." - D'Antrese M. 2. Driving Miss Crazy "I lived on base and was driving home clearly on auto pilot one day. I didn't see the gate guard because he was in the guard shack, so I just drove through the gate without realizing it! He (obviously) freaked out and started screaming and running! I finally realized what I'd done, pulled over, and apologized. Surprisingly he didn't give me a ticket ( Thank GOD )!" - Brandy O. 3. Fly on the Wall "We went to a squadron family picnic to meet the new commander. We gave the usual "be respectful and nice to everyone" speech to our kids before left. Once we arrived, the Squadron commander came up and starts talking to our son (the spunkiest of all my kids) and asks if he is having fun. So OF COURSE my son replies with, " Next time they should have it inside during fly season. ..I can't eat anything without a fly pooping on my food ." - Tesha J. 4. Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's...(cue gasp!) "During a deployment, I babysat overnight for the Company Commander's wife, who has four daughters. ( No biggie, right ?) At a unit event later that year, their youngest daughter came up to me (in front of a large group of people, of COURSE ) and said, ' we miss you when are you going to come sleep in Daddy's bed again' ." #idied - Erica M. 5. Out of the Mouths of Babes "My daughter (whose father is a Fighter Pilot) and her 1st grade class were discussing what they wanted to be when they grow up. One of the boys in the class (who also has a pilot dad) obviously said HE wants to be a fighter pilot too. My daughter, without missing a beat, quipped (a little louder than intended), ' No dude...You have to pick a real job that an adult does' ." - Alexandra B. 6. Baby's Got a Mean Left Hook "The first time I met my husband's new CO she was remarking how cute our toddler was when he punched her in the face! We were mortified to say the least." - Melissa N. 7. Fight or Flight? "When we lived in Guatemala I was learning Spanish and instead of asking our housekeeper to move I told her I was going to spit on her...." - Rebecca H. 8. Prank Call? I Can't Recall... "Years ago, my wife was on a 2 hour recall. They got alerted in the middle of the night. Her battalion XO called and said " hey Big Wheel get your ass here. We're a go ". I thought it was a prank caller being a pervert, so I cursed him out then hung up . Needless to say he kept calling and I soon realized this was no prank. I was mortified ." - Ashley B. 9. A VERY Hairy Situation "It was storming like crazy as we made our way to the USMC Ball, and everyone was getting soaked just running into the hotel from their cars. We walked up to a large group of my husband’s friends and their spouses and it was chaos ! One of the wives hair-do was completely jacked and since we were staying in the hotel that night I offered to have her come up to our room and I would re-do her hair. EXCEPT it came out more like 'You can come up to our room….I can give you a blow job' ." #MORTIFIED - M.J.B So what's YOUR most Laughable Military Moment?
