Army LT asks for help after his subordinates call him “soft, ‘Lil’ Debbyâ€
April 15, 2020
A junior officer in the Army’s Air Defense Artillery branch is apparently having some serious issues with the enlisted and NCOs in his unit- and he went to Reddit to solve it.
The ADA second lieutenant, who only went by the moniker “lostthroawaylt,†explained that his enlisted personnel -including a platoon and first sergeant- were teasing him with an unfortunate nickname derived from his less-than-chiseled figure.
“I’m an ADA 2LT doing my “platoon leader†time and I get a lot of grief for looking “soft†or having a ‘dad bod,’†he wrote. “I played Division 1 football, have a 300 APFT score, and got a 578 and 581 on both ACFT diagnostics I’ve taken since commissioning.†Despite this, most of the NCOs in my company call me ‘Lil’ Debby’ [sic] after my platoon sergeant called me that at PT one day.â€
