Nicholas DiBello (left) and SP/5 Dominic Zinnie of Croydon Acres. (Courier-Times Photo.) Courtesy of Dominic Zinnie. Both IFC Platoon Leader LT1 Nick DiBello (B/2/166th) and SP5 Dominic Zinnie (B/2/166th) shared an amusing story about a young guy at the base who was more interested in doing what he wanted to do rather than what he was supposed to do (something I'm sure most of us can relate to in one way or another.) A guard was required to make hourly patrols around the base to ensure its security, and in the process, key in a watchclock at various checkpoints. One night, the guard took the time to collect every checkpoint key (these keys were chained and nailed to poles around the base, mind you) and brought them back to the orderly room. Instead of actually making his rounds, he simply took the keys and, on the hour, keyed the watchclock with all of them. The one thing he didn't think of was the fact that the task that should have taken quite a while, took him literally seconds, and it was all recorded on the cardboard disc in the clock. Naturally, when Lt. DiBello looked at the disc, Mr. Lazy was busted. He was given three days of unpaid leave. Capt. Grellet C.
