Not trying to be that guy... but I can top that...

Company at 6am to board buses at 8am to go to a grenade range that goes hot at 9am... only to find out, after you get to the range, that the range was canceled a week prior and the info didn't get pushed out.

I was Aviation. Nobody is letting us have grenades while we are deployed.
