    A term used to describe soldiers in Iraq that rarely if ever leave the relative safety of the Forward Operating Base (FOB). This is a perjoritive term used by soldiers that spend a lot of time outside the wire beaing shot at and dodging road-side bombs, for those soldiers that live a safer and more comfortable life.

            Any person who is in the military, but who when deployed, stays on tha FOB (forward Operating Base) and never crosses the wire where its actaully dangerous. Mostly used in a derogatory fashion by those who actually do risk their lives. Most Marines and Soldiers arent fobbits. Most of the Air Force are fobbits except for Vehicle Operators.(Go Veh Ops!!!!!), Security Forces and special forces. And the Navy well who cares about tha navy theyre all gay anyway.
