My third and last just graduated and got his commissioning.  With three kids and a son-in-law, I've been to 4 college graduations, a wedding and a commissioning.  Hard to say which is tops.

There is a certain man pack radio called a PRC-E8. It's kept in the ops section and the only one that has it is the 1SG. If you need it, ask Top that you need to borrow the PRC-E8.

Don't forget buckets of rotor wash.......

Dare them to hold both leads of a megger (used for testing coaxial cables or wire insulation breakdowns)  while you turn the crank quite quickly....

Charge a capacitor with said megger then toss charged capacitor to someone and say, "Here, catch"....
