Howling Commando Era pranks please because the Army takes that sort of shit seriously and since Steve is so very eager to fit in with the rest of the guys obviously the best thing to do is to include him in the neverending circle of pranks that get pulled both on themselves and others (mostly others)
For your consideration:
- Gabe and Morita shaving off one of Dugan’s eyebrows while he sleeps. The next morning Bucky making him shave off the other so he’s still in uniform
- Apple pie-ing Steve’s bed. It’s hilarious watching most half asleep/drunk guys try and get into a short turned down bed, but they forget that Steve is a tiny bit stronger than most guys and he just puts his legs right through the sheets. Everyone gets laundry duty the next day, but nobody tells Steve why.
- That time the river froze over and Dernier thought it would be fun to drive a General’s car onto the ice and tie it underneath a bridge. It might still be hanging there come spring, which is credit to his knot skills.
- Also the time they dismantle a famous bridge to see how it is made and then somehow ended up with a few spare parts after putting it back together again. They then blame the Paras
- Dugan might have also stolen a plane from the RAF and proceed to send postcards from every city they visit in it
- Steve once got them all very drunk and recruited some of his USO friends to stage a well-needed makeover, thus starting the rumor of that one time the Howlies turned up to parade in stockings and red lipstick.
- The sucessful mission off the coast of France in which they were in a submarine and fooled a German U-boat into thinking they were a fishing freighter full of drunks by singing loud showtunes over the radio
- An assortment of increasingly disgusting and tasteless ‘drinking’ games involving various bodily fluids that ultimately ends with Bucky and Peggy threatening to shoot every last one of them because Steve is a punk who never backs down and no they aren’t playing freckles they are all vile and unhygienic.
- An Admiral betting Steve a whole month’s rations of rum that he can’t pick up a tank. Steve can absolutely pick up a tank, and he proves it by putting it on top of his jeep.
- There is also that time when the allies drop fake wooden bombs on fake German airbases, which is how Falsworth reveals he’s actually a damn fine whittler and they start leaving carved wooden dicks behind in the bases that they raid.
- Steve doesn’t know how they do it, but every single time they arrive in a new base or hideout or fucking foxhole in the ass end of europe, someone always finds the time to cover the shithouse with pages from Captain America comics
- Bucky Bear. No matter how many times Bucky tries to throw it away, set it on fire or use it as a weapon to smother a HYDRA operative, somehow the fluffy little fucker always makes its way back into his gear
- It is also worth noting that no matter who they prank, one rule stays firm; no one fucks with Peggy. It’s not that they think she can’t take it because she is a woman, it’s because she went to an all girls boarding school and they play fucking hardcore pranks
