A Zipperhead is a gentleman; courageous, honourable and intelligent (not to mention increadibly handsome). Women want to be with him and men want to be him.
Zipperheads are blessed by the by the Holy Trinity of Armour, Firepower, and Battlefield Mobility. They ignore Meatheads, give the finger to Zoomies, rescue the Lawndarts, and pity the Grunts. They love sappers, LogWogs, the seven mile snipers, and bartenders.

Zipperheads (or thier cousins the Track heads and the Treadheads) are Canadian Tank soldiers. There are two stories how they got the name. First a Tankers crewsuit has no button all pockets are zippered (Buttons can get caught on all of the things inside a tank). The second is that anyone spending time in tanks tends to get bashed up a bit, and will get stitches (zippers)

I know most of the guys that were in Kandahar. Recce Squadron is the squadron that went over and I was in Recce before i got posted out here. Is your brother in law still in Recce or did he switch squadrons?.
