 | | How long a guy remained an FNG depended on a number of things, including his attitude, his willingness to listen and learn, his competence, his dedication to the team and its task, the activity level of his team, and, of course, whether he survived his time as an FNG. |
 | | A guy graduated from being an FNG when he had learned enough to keep himself alive and contribute to the team, and when the team had observed his performance in action enough to let them sleep just a little better during his watch. |
 | | FNG stands for "Friggin' New Guy" (phrase cleaned up for this column, as some will recognize), and was a guy who had been through the training, but not the war. |
