As I will soon be on my third and final shuttle back the U.S., and out of touch for however long it takes me to get set up, I it would be nice to take a few fond memories from AW to warm my cold nights in withdrawal.

This term is a bit too offensive for me to use, but to me it means 'Fresh Off the Boat.' Lots of friends from college described themselves that way, though.

To me, FOB will always stand for Forward Operations Base.

Not offensive at all. My Father was a true FOB in 1917
