Newbie Question

Posted on 02/09/2004 8:42:19 AM PST by USCG-RET

Folks, I don't know if I'm posting this correctly (or in the right place), but could some one explain to me the following:

Ping, Bump, and Freep (as in "freep this poll").

I just joined FR (after refusing to buy a computer for all these years) and I really enjoy reading the posts here.

Thanks

Not really. Now many just hang the "A" word out in the open.

Yep, I think you'll be right at home here! Since you're a veteran, you may enjoy the FReeper Foxhole daily thread in the VetsCoR Forum. I'm pinging my buddies SAMWolf and Snippy_About_it who are the Foxhole's host and hostess, to come introduce themselves to you.

Welcome Aboard, Coastie!

Most everyone who's talked to you is right - there's lots of vets, and folks still in uniform, here at FR.Take your time, look around, ask, get answers, and have a ball!

Welcome Aboard!
I did "my time" back in '66-'69 on a Navy Destroyer.
In Oct 2001 I joined the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
I'll send you a ping to the FR Canteen.
