When I enlisted in the Marines, Hogan's Heroes was a popular television show. One of the characters was Colonel Klink, the bumbling Kommandant of the P.O.W. camp where Hogan was "held". Because of a vague similarity to my last name and the fact that I was a Private, my SSgt. Drill Instructor dubbed me "Private Klink". He certainly was NOT going to address me as Colonel Klink! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I tucked that away in my mind until I joined Swamp Rat in 02', and decided to use Private Klink as my forum name there, and here since then. I was going to use a picture of the Sad Sack cartoon character for an avatar, but when Dan Busse named me the GodFather of the DogFather - the GodFather won out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
