We picked out the best stories from a Reddit thread on funny military punishments. Enjoy.

These are so good.

Anyone who has served in the military has great stories from boot camp, deployments, or military life.


A recent thread on Reddit asked “Military personnel of Reddit, what’s the best/weirdest/funniest punishment you’ve seen handed down by a superior?”

The rigorous authority and rank structures of the military are notorious. Give a lot of young, motivated people a little bit of authority, and watch what funny stories they come up with.

Thanks for posting. A couple were pretty funny, the rest were harassment.

When I was Battalion S-4, I'd send a new soldier on a mission, to bring back a bucket of steam, to steam clean my jeep's engine under field conditions. My NCOs were on board with me, and the young soldier was put to the test.

You could tell by their reaction as to what type of soldier they'd become. Those that took it in good humor were good soldiers. Even those that didn't react so well had potential.
