The 9 best military pranks for April Fools' day

Happy April Fools' Day! It's that glorious time of year when you can pull some epic pranks on your friends, and we've looked far and wide for the ones that troops absolutely love. Here they are:

1. Spray paint your buddy's car in camouflage and then blame it on some homeless guy who lives in an alleyway around the corner from the base. If your buddy does what you think he's going to do, he'll play a huge prank on the homeless guy by beating the shit out of him. Double April Fools' WIN!

2. Remove all the lug nuts from your commanding officer's government vehicle. But make sure you leave one on by a few threads. Boy, will he be surprised at 65 mph.

3. Bang your buddy's wife. Most of you are already doing so (along with one-third of the population of Fayetteville, N.C.), but if you aren't, then April Fools' is a perfect excuse.
