So far this is a collection from various sources all over the internet, but I would love it if anyone with first hand experience would contribute to this page! Enjoy.
“Very first night.
GO INTO THE LATRINE AND SHAVE ALL THE HAIR OFF YOUR FACE EXCEPT FOR YOUR EYEBROWS
A few minutes later, 59 of us are standing at attention behind our beds (with various cuts on our faces), and the TI is walking around the bays. He looks into the latrine.
WHAT THE FUCK
Airman Dumbass, by himself, at the sink, one eyebrow gone, the other lathered up and ready to go.
I SAID ALL THE HAIR EXCEPT YOUR EYEBROWS
Sir, may I shave the other one off?
NO! GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE
Six weeks marching around with one eyebrow.”

“I was doing dorm guard for the new flights on one of my last nights there. If you never had a chance to do that, it was pretty awesome. One of the TIs had told his flight to use reporting statements to us as practice, so right after lights out, one trainee came running up and said, “Sir, Trainee Scientist reports as ordered, can I use the laboratory?” TI poked his head out of the office and said let him go, then he told me that a few days back, that kid screwed up saying the word lavatory and this was his punishment…
I wonder how long he had to do that…”
