Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 4-12-2005(146): Also as part of some army survival exercise, the cadets (including Bender see frame 1172) are sent into the woods to build a vat (for collecting water for example).

2) [jimsublimeman] 27-11-2007(63): Bender the Cadet (kudos to Fuaburisu) is found on an army training exercise, hiding behind a tree, getting drunk on the famous scotch whiskey Vat 69.

3) [rtkrtk] 23-3-2008(58): A true (?) story about Captain Cook and sauerkraut. Cook was convinced that sauerkraut would prevent the disease scurvy among his sailors, but his problem was getting his sailors to eat the stuff. He tricked the low-ranking cadets into eating sauerkraut by storing it in wood vats labeled "for officers' use only". The cadets thus believed that they were being unfairly denied access to the officers-only vats, so they secretly stole and ate the sauerkraut - which was exactly what Cook wanted them to do.

4) [mantixen] 7-7-2009(29): Space cadets are decompressed in wooden vats when they return to Earth.

5) [raulir] 21-11-2006(22): Cadets have to bathe in wooden vats.
