Message for WO Darrell Zinck

Hey, Zipperhead:

In todays edition of the Toronto Sun is a picture of three RCRs at phone booths at Fredericton Airport.

They are saying their last good byes before deployment to Afghanistan.

One of the trio is MCpl Carl Zinck.

He looks so ugly, he must be one of your relatives.

Yes/No?

Mister Zinck, methinks that smartassery is worth at least a few pints. FYI, Mr. Skagfeld has a penchant for buying people beer through his unique man-management technique... I'm at a loss to describe it, but I continue to be a grateful recipient of his... er... well, I'm off to bed shortly, so I'll say goodnight.

Don't insult Darrell by calling him "Mister".

He's a Warrant Officer, and proud of it.

He must be gone nighty-nites, since he hasn't responded yet.

Hi guys

Yes, you missed me by about 15 minutes!! I was in Toronto all the long-weekend with the wife and kids doing family stuff (ROM,Science Centre, Zoo) in preparation for our departure from Onterrible.......I mean Onscario..............ooops ONTARIO (There we go). Saying good byes and seeing the sites. We managed to squeak thru the 401 snarl that those selfish French airlines created tho'. Bloody amazing no one was killed!!

Carl Zinck, huh? Can't say I know him. Any idea what unit? Probably 2Bn RCR outta Gagetown. As far as immediate (and known family goes; it's just me and my younger Brother still in. And his name isn't Carl and no way he'd go to Afghanistan. He's a Blue-Job clerk and had a hard time in Alert, for Pete's sake!!:

I could check up Carl on my work computer but am currently on leave. I do have to go in this week so I'll give it a check on our intra-net. Also on this next tour is another Recce Sqn from the RCD. Those are the ones to watch for!Hehehe

Thanx for coming to my aid, Geoff but I think I got Jon's measure when we met and have no problems with his teasings. After all he did know what calling me "mister" would do to me as I sit here!!

"Mister" is what I call my fresh young subalterns from RMC!! Even the female ones!!

Have a great day.

regards
