Great story Jeff! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I think I told mine before, but here goes:

When I enlisted in the Marines back in 1968, Hogan's Heroes was still popular on television. My SSgt. Drill Instructor noticed a vague similarity between my name and Colonel Klink from the show. He was certainly not going to call me Colonel Klink, but dubbed me Private Klink. I had not used that until I joined Swamp Rat five years ago, and decided to use that for my screen name. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Tom
