Another FNG rookie!

[maggot275]

I'm new with 53 dives in Lake Superior, Cozumel, Dom Rep, Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen and a few outlaw (non-certified) in Panama, Cuba, and Pugit Sound it's how I got started. I read more post less. Thanks for all the great info.

Welcome! I'm also a frequent reader and less frequent poster.

Where did you dive in the DR? I'm heading there next month.

LOL...F N G was my nickname about 35 years ago in a different life....must be a standard USMC epithet as that's who liked to use it. "Boot" was also popular...no my feeling weren't hurt. Passed it on as time went by and respect was earned.

And 35 years later, boot is still very popular. 'My boot has served longer than you have, boot.'

I carried the M-60 until they came out with the M-240 so I was "The Machine Gun Maggot." 275 is where I grew up 2nd Battalion 75th. I dove off of Punta Cana in the DR east coast, nice dive, ran into some sharks!

Oh... I did some time on the west side of the island but that was when I was carrying my M-60!
