    Are ya Grunt or a POG???

    Since the poncho liner/wobbie thread got side tracked...I want to know.....are ya a grunt or a POG????

    Yea yea, bullets don't fly without supply.

    You wouldn't get paid if it wasn't up to admin...
    You'd have to walk everywhere...


    Blah blah blah...I think everyone should be infantry first, then given the chance to go to a different MOS...

    Dont even get me started on deployment dodgers!!!

    Grunt.
    However most know us by death delivering sex tornados.

    Yeah bullets don't fly without supply. Can't eat without cooks, transport without drivers. Well myself and most other grunts can all safely say we are used to being cold, wet, hungry and sleep deprived and still close with and destroy the enemy. Especially light and airborne. I'd much rather strap on my boots and ruck than be sitting in some metal death trap.

    Any true grunt knows that it is pronounced pogue. But it's spelled POG. Personnel Other than Grunts.

    Ha now that I got that meat eater rant out. Respect to everyone who has served. Even the POGs.

        Grunt for life! Light infantry machine gunner. Every MOS is basically infantry though, right?

              I am an 1833, amphibious assault vehicle crewman, but in Iraq, all I did was foot patrols.

              So, my unit was am-grunts, so that makes me pog turned grunt.

                No, every marine is a rifleman which is not infantry. Infantry is infantry.

                        I do see why it was once called a smoking jacket though. So soft and silky. I actually preferred my wooly pully under my utility blouse with the "woobie" trouser liner underneath. The field jacket liner was overkill. Everybody stopped using a lot of that stuff once the Gore-Tex came out. That was a prime theft, I mean, aquired item. Those brisk mornings at El Toro were SO rough.

                            Grunt 0311 and Designated Marksman here too with 3/7, at 18 I didn't see a point in joining the Corps to be anything else. As our BC used to say "The entire rest of the Corps was to support Infantry". As any Grunt will tell you, many times we only had the food, ammo and water we could carry and humped everywhere. I did love Helos, AAV's and Motor T, that meant we got rides
