Meet the POG who is going to be your boss in the civilian world

RAF LAKENHEATH, UK — You may not realize it, but Airman 1st Class Harold Margason is going to be your boss in the civilian world someday.

Unbeknownst to the two of you, your lives are destined to become closely intertwined in several years' time, when you find yourself working as a security guard/janitor at the business he owns, sources confirmed.

Margason and you come from similar backgrounds: Working-class households, public school educations, and indecision about the future after high school. However, whereas you joined the infantry so you could "blow shit up," Margason joined the Air Force as a Person Other than Grunt (POG) and picked a job field where he would be able to obtain a top-secret clearance, opportunities for off-duty education, and marketable skills - whatever the fuck that means.
