When I was in the USMC (Helicopters), we would send "newbies" for "a gallon of rotor wash", "safety wire stretchers", "50 feet of flight line", etc, etc. The best one though, was when we had an ex "grunt" (infantry) transfer into the squadron. We sent him out into the hanger to work wit "Chili", a Corporal we had. They are working in the sponson (sort of the "wheel well" of a CH-53 Sea Stallion Helicopter.
Chili tells the new guy that he needs the "Fallopian Tube" to fix whatever the problem was - and he needed it NOW! He sends the terrified newbie back to the shop to find it, all the while yelling for him to HURRY! We catch on pretty quick and send him down the hanger to Hydraulics shop - "they borrowed it just this morning". As the poor sod is running toward Hydraulics, Chili is hollering for him to HURRY, or "this thing is gonna BLOW"! Everyone in the hanger can hear Chili's "desperate pleas by this point. Our hero gets told by Hydraulics that some guy came over from HMM 163 (across the hanger)a few minutes ago, and borrowed it. THEY (163) tell him that someone from our shop just came and got it, so he heads back to us, all the while passing by Chili and his merciless hollering! When he busts into the shop - out of breath, we tell him that it was actually Flight Equipment shop who got it, not us, so go up there and get it!

The next thing we knew, this poor guy bursts through our shop doors yelling "I get you ------'s for this! I knew it all along!" Then Chili comes busting through the door laughing. We had this poor guy running allover the hanger for over half an hour! He knew he'd been had! Everyone laughed for a good long while over it, including the victim.
Now it was HIS turn to plan for the next newbie.....
