Respect to all FNGs for an outstanding rookie post in the high altitude oxygen.

So, something had clearly crawled up and died inside of Swiper or perhaps it was the change in altitude and air pressure that had his bowels working in overdrive. Too many times, YHC overheard “Swiper……not again” as Swiper would drop a grenade or crop dust the pax as he smoked by the rest of us.
As we are doing Namearama, one of our FNG’s, when asked to tell us about himself replies, “Well, I’m a White Male….” “Unabomber!!” screams either Dredd or Swiper. And Unabomber it is. We are hoping that he will start wearing hood sweatshirts when he posts this winter.
A special shout-out to The Lizard for a strong first post. Even more impressive was the fact that The Lizard led a hike, albeit a SLOW ONE, up to the top of the mountain later that day. He was so smoked that YHC thinks he hit the fartsack at 2000 hours.
