Author Topic: Weirdest stories you've been told in your family  (Read 1922 times)

We all probably all have that one person who has this weird tale you've heard, now lets compare stories and not have a sword fight.

When my father was in the army he was stationed in Eastern Germany during 1987, in his visit he visited the Berlin wall and all the fun stuff but his highlight he told me was when some soldiers in the German army had invited the US soldiers to fire their guns. During the time they spent at the range a guy was wearing a trenchcoat and was offering people drinks, this guy had rigged this coat with surgical tubing to become a hidden-in-plain-site flask that held Schnapps and Beer so for 7 hours They drank and shot military firearms also getting to the point to where two guys started to joust with broom handles. Drunk Soldiers shooting guns and jousting, Best time my father spent in Germany.

A year later he was in a Russian Unit for about a month, The Russians were really strict and wouldn't let the Soldiers do anything except shoot an AK-47 once. He told me the Russian unit was the most boring thing he'd ever done while transferred with other units.


My dad's uncle had this retired mail truck they took out one night after some drinking, and his uncle was driving around in the snow doing drifts n stuff.

And then they tried to hit a cat.

My uncle saw some guy get ripped in half on the USS Carl Vinson.

My grandfather had several meetings and appointments the day 9/11 happened they were quickly changed to another date though.

I can't think of any weird ones off the top of my head, but my friend's grandpa was a marine that got stationed in Mexico back during WWII or something like that. One night, he was out drinking whiskey with some of his buddies, and ending up stealing a donkey and getting arrested. My grandpa is just a pusillanimous individual ass doctor I guess :/

my dad was in the marines and was stationed in the phillipines a few decades ago to combat communist guerillas and one time he got wasted and was walking across a bridge when a firefight started. in his drunken stupor he fell over decided to watch tracers go over his head for a while because they looked pretty
somehow he didn't get shot during his stay in there

My second-cousin (I think) was in the Marines, and he got black out drunk once, and his friends took him while he was out and got a face tattooed on his arse, then proceeded to take pictures of him passed out with his arse hanging out, with cigarettes in betweetn his arse cheeks in the tattoos mouth.
