Fobbit

A fobbit flys into Kuwait, then is deposited at their FOB (forward operation base). Once at the FOB, they never go outside the wire until it is time to rotate home.

Fobbits are noted for the amazing stories of their combat exploits, usually overheard at the DFAC when grunts are passing through. They also have the most gizmos attached to their M4s (assault rifle).
