RE: FNG
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic Aaron, isn't LPG liquid propane gas? And where are you getting LPG from anyways?
Hahaha, you'll enjoy this and I think this was the intended meaning.

ORIGINAL: Urban Dictionary
F.N.G.
F******' New Guy. Term still used in the western English-speaking armed forces of the west (primarily United States, Australia, United Kingdom and Canada) to denote a new soldier fresh off his basic training. It means they have the basics but no real experience, so they do everything by the book (which is not always best) and they are overly keen and always shut down on long excersices.
Some people stay F.N.G.'s for years, however most switched-on soldiers lose the status within a year.

RE: FNG
Well, the Urban Dictionary has is part right. In the Nam we had a "rotation" system that meant many troopers arrived as replacements from "the repo-depot". Upon arrival you were an FNG until you got salty. A a similar term was cherry. I figured those who knew would know and those who wouldn't . . . xin loi!
