The LT you remember
StrikeFO sends us another link from the Duffle Blog. I know you guys know this lieutenant;
Despite his success in such a dangerous environment as Kuwait, Lieutenant Boyd is taking all the positive praise in stride.
“I haven’t really let it change me as a person you know. Everywhere I go on Camp Buehring I have higher ranking officers wanting to tell me how great of a job I’m doing keeping my troops safe. I’ve also noticed the lower enlisted whispering and pointing at me whenever I walk by.”
“Because I’m wearing my ear-pro most of the day, I’m not sure what they tell each other, but my guess is they’re saying, ‘There goes that LT that makes his guys wear eye-pro everywhere. Man, he’s a winner.’”
Yes, this time I know it’s satire.

I threw up a little. Damn glow belt nazis.
Wait wait wait.
Wasn’t he the colonel of his ROTC battalion?
PLEASE tell me the Duffle Blog is the Army’s veriosn of the Onion.
If so, BRAVO! Loved it!
If not, just F(*&^%G shoot me now.
Without LT harping on safety all the time, I might have burned my hand. He’s going to go far in the Army.
We laugh because it would hurt too much to cry?
Sad fact: this satire will find its way into the CG’s daily dump, and the next thing you know he’ll assign a major to honcho EVERY servicemember wearing eye protection.
Just like the freaking order to wear the reflective safety belts while in combat gear in A-stan…
Actually, when we deployed to Afghanistan we were made to wear our eyepro at all times we weren’t in the rack for several days before the chain of command felt too silly to go on.
Check out the “article” on IVAW, freaking hilarious.
Jonn gets mentioned by name.
Way to go, Lilyea…
“there goes our LT, he’s as sharp as a spoon”
PRICELESS…
