When you’re young, you do dumb things. When you’re young, and dumb, and in the military, the stakes are higher, but that just means your stories are a little crazier. Task & Purpose asked you, the readers, to share the dumbest things you did in the military, and most of the stories were disturbing, funny … or just plain incriminating.
In less than 24 hours, we got an impressive number of responses, but we decided to condense them down to a list of our favorites. So here they are: the top 10 worst things you, the Task & Purpose readers, have done in the military that should have gotten you discharged. Thanks for sharing.
