The Army sends newbs for chem light batteries, keys to the drop zone, PRK-E7s, testing vehicles for soft spots, and exhaust checksWhen I was in the Navy :
Go down to the galley and get me 100 feet of chow line.
Go down to engineering and get us a BT punch (Boiler Tech's loved it).
Go to medical and get your pap smear. The line was always large on an aircraft carrier and they would stand there and wait.
I heard on smaller ships they would give a guy a pole with a hook and tell him to watch for the mail buoy.
Ex Navy here... true, on a destroyer, they liked to prank fresh out Ensigns to go to the bow and look for the mail buoy, in the middle of the Pacific.When I was in the Navy :

One more... telling FNGs to go get 50 feet of water line.
