When people ask, I have two wives...
When I was in basic training in the US Army many years ago, I would volunteer for nightwatch (or firewatch). It was a two-hour stint overnight that was basically a beginner's version of CQ*. One night, I was pulling a double with the drill sergeant's permission. He snuck in at 0300 and walked around silently. Jerking off is a no-no in the Army--yes, I'm serious--and he caught someone doing just that in their bed. He whacked the guy in the head with his flashlight and yelled, "Listen dummy, switch hands, it feels like someone else is doing it!" The poor recruit about died of fright but I will never forget those words. :D
Later,

*=Charge of Quarters. In the Army, this was a 24-hour guard duty shift both at the battery building and at barracks on post. If there was an emergency or if we suddenly got called to war, these guys were the ones that would muster everyone. I used to pull CQ a lot but that's because some guys paid me up to $300 a pop to pull their shift for them.
