I'm sure many people have read stories where a character is newly in a
military or paramilitary service, and as part of the service "culture",
is sent on bogus errands, such as a search for "fifty meters of flight
line" or "last month's cannon report" or "a bucket of prop wash". (Such
bogus errands are sometimes generically called "snipe hunts".)

What sort of snipe hunts would exist in the various interstellar
services in the Third Imperium?
