Tell your FNG story!
I just saw a locked thread so couldn't post there-- wherin one FReeper calls another NOOB.
How young must one be on FR to be a NOOB? So I looked... 2010!! I figured it was a joke as the accuser's account was a 2016 sign-up. SO....
At my first squadron as an ensign, fresh outta Electronic Warefare school (se habla espanol.. any guesses where? Second hint, ground-based naval aircraft...) I showed up at the O-club for lunch. I'm a normal guy, not too much attitude for a typical JO. When allofa sudden, another fella I recognized from flight school (we were both NFOs... back of the bus, self-loading-baggage, not pilots) with a funny last name, RIPE for hazing (Muckenthaller-- "What the F*ck, MUCK?!" was common speech I'd come to find out.") Muckenthaller, himself with one month in the squadron sees me come in and announces very loudly to all assembled,
"Hey guys, here's [Phinneous,] the NEW GUY"
You couldn't imagine the abuse that still-obvious-FNG took for both of us for piping up like that while still being an obvious FNUGA, NOOB, NOOBIE, F'in NEW GUY.
So who has a shorter NOOB story??
Ex-Naval Air myself....
VF-63....
However, I have underwear older than you Noobie!
LOL! No tighty whitey photos please, capn’ :)
You’ve only been here 8 years, so STFU...
I think that anyone that signed up after 1999 is a considered a n00b.
Aw come on... have mercy.
I got you beat by 11 days n00b!!

I did it! I looked at the cann about page and read this:
This isn’t my first rodeo.
Was a long time lurker, then I became a long time contributor and I deleted my account. But glad to say I’m back again just don’t mistake me for a newbie..
This IS my first rodeo! Been in a couple of roundups and a stampede or two though.
I just hope I don't git roped into voting for Cruz.
A Noob with a July 2015 sign up date told me to go back to school because my post was incoherent. I had posted that his vanity was hugh and series.
I figured as much.
Though a Cruz supporter and not wanting this thread to descent into politics...
...we heard a brief report about the Donald’s military school hazing (though I wasn’t sure if it was he who was hazed)
I wonder what my guy Ted’s hazing was like at Princeton....NOT Freshman at an ivy league— sounds devastating and formative, ey? Fugedabadit.
Since you brought up your service here is my noob story from the Marine Corps.
My first NCO call that I went to my roommate showed up. He had no ribbons or service strips and the other NCO’s were giving him crap because he had the sharpshooter rifle badge. He quickly pointed out to them that I only had the marksman badge. I was the only one there besides my roommate without anything on their uniform and I had the worst shooting badge.
But I guess I was promoted because I was smart not there a long time. Kind of like some of the noobs here I guess. I dont even have ten years here.
I posted an article with “hompsexuality” in the title that got a few sarcastic replies. haha
I like this place.
People on their high horse.
Lots of bull...ummm...riding
Seems like plenty of people ready to buck the system.
Lots of poll bending.
And don’t ferget the rodeo clowns...
Try to get people to talk about their pets+names, kids+names, and birthdays while you’re at it.
Thanks in advance!
Send them your Glock Kitty.... they won’t pipe up again.
It was the Clinton era and I had no clue how this site worked so I was typing replies under my sister’s username, as she didn’t log out. It caused some commotion...
Now see.... that’s the equivalent of “NOOB!” ;) Where’s my safespace?
No pet names, kid names, or birthdays please. Just funny callsigns (where applicable) and old stories of mild embarrassment or coming-of-FReeper age.
I got the usual crap. Go find a yard of flight line, blah blah blah.
It weren't too bad coming in. Leaving however, man, did we do some damage :)
Her nick wasn’t bigjugs by chance????
I forgot about the classics! Nice. I never fell for the mail buoy gag :)
