Probably the only fun night I had during Basic was about in our third week. We were out in the field (doing training and staying out in the woods for a week) and one of our D.Ss came up to us and told us he wanted us to steal the other Company's guide on (flag the company uses to identify themselves in front of formations.)
He equipped us with duct tape and rope and told us to give them hell. Once it became nightfall, and soldiers had went into their tents to sleep, we made our move.
We sneaked through the tree line and even found their night guard. We tackled them both to the ground and duct taped their mouths shut, then moved them to a tree and tied them up.
The search for the guide on began.
We went through a bunch of tents, tying and sacking people until we finally found it. Once we got it we ran back to our area and handed it to our D.S. In reward, the following Sunday when we got back, he let us sleep an extra 2 hours, which was a huge deal if you're always sleep deprived.
