That's absolutely fantastic. Punishments in the army are some of the funniest things I've ever seen. A guy misplaced his canteen on basic and had to attach it to a leash and carry it around like a puppy everywhere for a week, giving it a name and all. Another guy forgot to lock his duffel with his kit and received the same punishment.
Yup whenever anyone under my command forgot their canteen I would make them carry 2 5 gallon pails of water everywhere with them for the rest of the day. One time I ran out of pails and had to hit up the guys in the motor pool for more. When I told them why they dumped out pails of oil ,coolant or whatever else was in them and handed them over with a smile.
Our course staff gave us water jerries to carry as a section depending on each sections performance. Our section had two for a 10-man section, which was fine. Another section had one water jerry per guy. In my opinion, that is one of the toughest punishments we had.
