              I think there is one exception to the POG stigma... I am yet to meet an infantryman who thought any less of a medic

                100% agreed. We loved our Corpsmans in the Corp...wether they were turds or not.

                Heck even being out and working as a contractor being near Corpsmans and medics, I still got love for them!!!

                        POG..
                        Was with arty battery and we trained and deployed as a provisional rifle company. Mout instructor course all the fun stuff.
                        At the end of the day just a boring POG

                          We left the wire daily for 7 months but were still POG's we had it made compared to the guys who lived outside the wire.

                          POG's have it easy.... I used to do regular security and resupply convoys to the COP's and FOB's and those poor guys had it rough. Senior man in a couple of those COP's was a CPL....

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

                              Pro tip: even when it's been 7 weeks since showering, hand sanitizer is never a good idea to put on your toilet paper. It feels like willy P got on your bung piece.
