Re: Reference Letter for Quentin White, aka Glacier

Mr. Queen:
I am writing this letter at your request, but with some reluctance. I think the work you are doing with your new organization is fantastic, which is why I hesitate to write a letter endorsing a man that I think could ultimately hurt your efforts. However, I know why you have targeted Quentin White, so I will hold up my end of the bargain.

As I'm sure you've heard, "Glacier" was a Joe Greenshirt that was assigned to me, as he was a cold weather combat specialist. I don't know for sure why he picked that codename, but it sure as hell isn't indicative of the pace he takes in the field (let's call it "hasty" instead?).

It might still be fitting though, based on the sizeable path he tends to clear in his wake. Anyway, some of the guys thought he picked that name because of that creepy, cold-as-ice stare he gets...well, he doesn't "get" it, he "has" it - always. When you're across the table from the guy for chow, it's like sitting across from a serial killer.

That creepiness sure hasn't kept the guys from poking fun at him. When they saw that bald dome (for a cold weather specialist?) I thought they were going to cry from laughing so hard. Then, when they found out his file name is Quentin White, I think the name Q-Ball came to several guys at once.

But you know how most guys enjoy a little razzing, and they kind of come back with one liners that let you know, hey this guy is alright? Well not good ole Q-Ball. The guy has no sense of humor at all. He just quietly stares back until the laughter stops, and an uncomfortable silence just hangs there. I'm telling you, at a minimum that this guy is bad for morale if he's used in any group setting whatsoever. He's a loner, there's no doubt about that.

I also have to say just this one more thing, and knowing what you know, this shouldn't surprise you. I think the guy is just flat out dangerous. I won't go so far as to blame him for me losing my leg, but he damned near wiped out our whole arctic assault team when the large scale attacks started. I guess you'd have to say that day was still a victory, since we stopped that Cobra attack (what are we calling these guys now? MEDUSA??), but the way he recklessly stormed in for a full frontal assault blew our cover, and the rest of the boys simply weren't as lucky as I was.

As for his skills? I'd have to admit I would not want to go up against the guy. He's fearless and deadly. He'll do whatever it takes to get to his target - and I've seen him do some crazy things. It's like he thinks he's competing in the damned X-Games with some of the risks he takes jumping off slopes you just shouldn't jump down.

But Mr. Queen, if you're asking for my endorsement, the best I can say is that as a solo operative, on critical, dangerous assignments, I think he'll get the job done. Just know that he will do so at any cost.

Sincerely,

Snow Job

P.S. - Thanks for asking how I've been. I'm still recuperating, and I don't like being laid up. I guess since the Joes are now no-more, I wouldn't have a unit to return to anyway. Please keep me posted on how your new organization goes. And if you find you need someone to train your sharpshooters, please keep me in mind.
