FUBAR is a acronym that originated in the military to stand for the words "I ***ed up beyond all repair. Maybe this is what he has done. I have had some bad experiences just as the hikers Moose and Popcicle had all along the AT. Have seen hell raisers cause a friendly site or section to turn hostile, case and point, in Virginia near a church pickneck ground I was nearly shot because a bunch of idiot hikers had trashed up the church and pickneck ground when I stopped to get water. A little old lady demanded that I get off her property of she would drop me right in my tracks. I moved on very quick.
Always thought it stood for " F***ed up beyond all recognition."

Prozac, you could be right, but anyway the boy may be in serious trouble.
:-?
I'd be curious to know why he chose the acronym for "screwing up" as a Trail Name.
Was he trying to live up or down to the "name?"
Here's a suggestion for his new "trail name:" "Hi, my name is FUBAR and I'm an alcoholic."
Coosa
When I was in the Army it was "repair".
