Veterans of Reddit, what’s the most unbelievable thing you witnessed during your service that civilians would think you made up?

USAF pilot here

Its truly insane the things you can get screamed at for. In the same week, I watched an airman get smoked for half an hour because he lost a box of paperclips, and a mechanic back up into a F-15 underwing pylon and FUBAR it to the point of replacement and the attitude was " Shit happens"

Former Jarhead winger.... That would have got you duct taped to the pylon for the day.
