The funniest moment at MCT was when we all got our school assignments and found out what our actual MOS was going to be. Imagine a Master Gunnery Sergeant from S-1 standing on a little outdoor stage in front of four or five hundred sweaty privates and PFCs.
He would call out our last name and last four of the SSN and we'd answer up, then he'd tell us the base we were going to for school, and the MOS we'd have when we finished. He went through alot of fairly familiar stuff: motor T, supply, comm, admin, avionics, etc. Then one guy answered up to his name and the Master Gunny said something like, "Camp Lejeune, MOS 1369, Hygiene equipment operator."
Just as he was about to go on to the next one, the kid hollers out, "Master Gunny, what's that?"
Without missing a beat, the Master Guns said, "You're gonna be the shitter-sucker man, son."
Oh my God, the whole formation laughed our asses off. Thank God it was like three days before graduation, because that poor guy got ragged pretty hard until we got out of there.

(Actually, those guys run the ROWPU water purifiers and stuff like that.)
