Grunt-Turned-POG Insults POG-Turned-Grunt
OP OMAR – Company-level staff at Kilo Company confirmed today that a Grunt-Turned-POG had gone off on another rant about how much he hates POGs.
According to eyewitnesses, Lance Corporal Bruno Walz spent the better part of his 2200-0600 shift in the Combat Operations Center eating the contents of care packages and complaining about how much he hates POGs, who according to Walz, "can't fucking hack it."
A POG, or "Person Other than Grunt," is a pejorative term used by infantrymen to refer to non-infantrymen, as well as tank crew and artillery if they are not particular about receiving accurate fire support. It comes from the French word pôgué, meaning "that which will be promoted faster than you."
Walz, a five-year "super senior" on his third deployment, is a Marine 0311 Rifleman who stands radio watch when not running the company police shed. He was assigned to his present billet after his second nonjudicial punishment, for disrespecting an Intelligence NCO with two years time-in-service.
