All the below happened in my company:

NDs into the clearing barrel: check (once the CO does it and gets away with it, nobody gives a flying gently caress oddly enough).

SAW ND not into the clearing barrel: check (IMO that dude was too stupid to use an open bolt weapon)

Crashing vehicles: a tanker's right of passage (on a personal note, I lost track of how many times I hit poo poo I was not supposed to with *insert name of vehicle here* and I was actually a very good delta.

Porn on the SIPR computer is only funny when the banned USB drive infects it: check (this happened a lot)

Porn on the NIPR computer resulting in infection from the USB drive is not funny at all because S6 is pissed off at your company and takes a long time to fix it: check

Still drunk from the night before: check (it is ONLY an offense if you cannot perform PT). Puking = showing good effort.

Improper but safe enough handling of ordinance: check

Destroying equipment by being a retard or in rage: check

Setting things on fire, or setting things on fire that needed to be set on fire with a lot more fire than needed: check

Smoking in vehicles: check

Setting off the halon system from smoking in the vehicle: check

Using unauthorized freqs on MBITRS around the patrol base: check (I am really sorry for all you citizens of Baghdad who turned into 107.3 light dirka dirka and got high pitched squealing sounds)

In my company, the only known ways to get an Art. 15 were to piss hot, DUI, beat someone else to near death, or screw another Soldier's wife. On exactly 2 occasions was someone so drunk in the morning they could not at least sham in PT. By "at least sham" I mean that bailing from formation to go puke was fine, but mouthing off and being a retard was not. Both incidences resulted in CO and Top yelling at them and telling the CQ NCO to drive them to the MPs. Then CO and Top would "realize" that it was PT time and cars were not allowed to be used. I think the worst company command punishment dealt out was lawn mowing on Saturday with an IBA. You really had to gently caress up to get this.

Did anybody die? Halon systems are serious poo poo.

Yes, they are only if you get hit and have an incapacitated crew and suffocate. If they go off by malfunction or human error, it is really not that eventful. Aside from the initial confusion of what just went boom, the easiest way to not die from suffocation is to simply open whatever hatch or door/ramp you entered the vehicle from, windows if you have them, and turn on the turret blower/nbc system if you have that. If your voice starts to change and you feel dizzy after said measures are taken, hold your head closer to the hatch/door/ramp/window/vent.

What you never want to do with halon systems is try to manually discharge a halon bottle when it is not mounted in the PLL office. We had one mechanic do this twice. Thankfully nobody was hurt, but from what I am told (I was not there) they go off like a rocket.
