This happened while I was in the Army stationed in South Korea April 95 - April 96.
Senior enlisted were throwing a going away party for the outgoing First Sgt. Top was cool and all, but I was a PFC with no interest in going.......
Until we were informed if you didn't buy a ticket you were shanghied into working "special duty" for the event.
Tickets were based on your rank, E4 and below were $2.00.
Cue malicious compliance....bought a ticket just to get out of working "special duty" for this BS "hey you detail".
Got dismissed from formation, changed into civies, made an appearance, ate some buffet food, and dipped out.
Best two bucks I ever spent to get out of a detail.
