while my dad was oversees he did non-combat work on this base in the middle east. this is one of my favorite stories of his

so, my dad and a buddy were dropping off cargo to a plane. while doing this, they get hungry. they decide to leave the boxes next to the plane and grab a bite to eat

coming back onto base after they eat, everything was in chaos. ppl were freaking out. red alert, something was going down.

"holy crap whats going on" my dad and his buddy are like

"theyve found a suspicious, unmarked package next to a plane"
my dad and his friend are like OH CRAP THAT WAS US

somehow my dad didnt get in trouble (but i think the friend did lol) and the commander guy was like "hey man thanks for doing that! my men needed the practice"
