when i was in the military, we used to send newbies(FNG'S) down to supply to get a 'box of grid squares'. keep in mind, for those that know maps, 'grid squares' are just the squares that are created on a map where longitude and latitude lines cross. it creates a suqare onm the map, hence, grid square.. anyway, we would send guys to find a 'box of drid squares', and off they go. the supply sargent, who is in on the joke, tells him that he is all out, but go check with the gunnery sargent. and so on, and so forth. it would never fail, several hours later, the poor new guy would return, looking beaten and confused, trying to explain how he went all over batallion, trying to find a 'box of grid squares'. we all hit the floor as laughter insues..
