Would love to get another newbie (or someone else's first time Do) feedback/review on attending their first Do.
I gotta be honest, even while going through most of the threads, I feel out of place and always have another tab open to look up the acronyms, not to mention, I don't have any status yet, and don't fly as much as you guys do (I'm getting there though), so can't really share a lot of stories either.
Would a printed acronym list put me at ease?

@hsandhar
yyznomad is absolutely right. We're all pretty harmless. Sure, some occasional skirmishes in the hallway, a number of the members have been sent to the principal's office, but really, I'd like to think we're a pretty friendly and helpful bunch.
Also, While not freshly minted, I consider myself to be new to this, perhaps only because I walk among legends here.
As for Do's, well, if we ever meet, I'll tell you what it was like March of 2015 at the first AC FT Do I attended in YVR.
In the meantime, a few thread about the various major, minor, mini, micro and nano dos are floating about on the forum.
Remember, everyone is welcome and make sure you have protective gear.
