Wild Goose Chase for the Noobie!

A good wind up that we used to play on our Nubie Officers.Was our command post's were remoted to the Radio's that would be upto 3 Kilometers away. It would work like this Officer would come into the command post with a message to send over the air, pick up a mic and try to send. The opperator at the Radio would no who was speaking and switch the radio to intercomm. Officer would try a couple of times to transmit and not get anyware. The commandpost radio op would say let me try for you sir. Then send the message opperator at the redio would switch to transmit and all would be ok. Us radio op's used to realy get pissed of at the fact that these Nub Officers would treat the radio net as there own personal communications system. It's amazing how many off them would not catch on to what we were doing.

Sending them after a box of short circuits has always been a favorite of mine...our suppliers would always play along and send them from store to store..
