        I had a high school friend who went on to drive a tank...

        At one point, I don't remember if he had finished training or not, they
were on some kind of maneuver which involved driving through a town near
their base. He ended up accidentally rolling right through some old lady's
white picket fence and grinding her flower garden into mulch!
        I just about gave myself a hernia laughing when I heard about it, and he
ended up (auto-detailing? tank detailing?) well, doing just about every
undesirable job there was. At least they let him keep driving.
