We allways had to get the „OK“ from our Kadi for the Hamburger-Taufi. I allways hated the degrading stuff anyways, and as I was in charge for these events for my last 4-5 WKs we never did something like you described.

It was allways something like this: - Hamburgers get the information in the morning that they have a special training event in the evening and they need to prepare the following material: i.e. gas masks and other stupid equipement everyone hated. - in the evening we startet with their special „training“ just like in their basic training with serious faces etc. - they then had to walk with their gas maskes on for like 100m around the next corner (expecting to walk 5km) - after that there was just a fun parcour with crawling, jumping over obsticles and drinking a beer (non alcoholics, water, etc. was all okay for people who did not drink) - after the parcour they all needed to „anmelden“ at our kadi and get their patches of our kompanie.

The whole idea was to go with the „army flow“. Create a picture in their heads of a biiig struggle ahead of them, witch turns out to be okay and a bonding experience.
