His buddy, thinking the guy has gone over the edge, looks out but he sees it too. They figure they're both hallucinating and carry on.
Eventually one of them walks over to another trench and tells they story. The guys in that trench listened in shock and siad they had seen it too! Finally they call it in and the acting platoon commander was convinced it was a joke. He got on the net and told all call signs to report any and all activity. 4 different trenches in the position reported a big, pink bunny to their front in the last 30 min!
It was actually one of the course instructors, a Master Warrant Officer, who had rented a full sized, bright pink bunny costume and was walking around the front of the position. He said after that he'd walk right up to a trench, the guys in it would look at him in gawking disbelief, shake their heads and try to ignore him!
I remember how bleary-eyed and sleep-f*cked I was on defensive exercises and this would have had me wondering if I was crazy too.
