Hi Sue,

NUG is an old Army Security Agency (ASA) term for "New guy". Today I
guess "Newbie" would be the approx.
equal term.  It meant a new recruit or someone at their first duty
station out of training or school
and doing their on-the-job training at their first assignment...

I had my NUG status back in early '65. (just to clarify: That was 1965
not 1865)

John,   K1RC
(ex 058)
