From the Netflix show “Outer Banks”, the pogues live on the Cut. They are the opposite of Kooks, and live outside the bubble wrap. They might not have the most money, but they are the coolest people and the best surfers. While it is said “pogues don’t mack on other pogues”, it actually does tend to happen. Pogues stick with other pogues, and help each other with all of their crazy shit.

A pogue is what infantrymen call non-infantrymen in the US Army. Marines probably use the same word, though I can't comment on that.
"Pogue" is generally disparaging, though the degree of vitriol with which one uses it can vary. The connotation associated with pogue is that the person is lazy and/or soft, and therefore selected a job in the military that doesn't involve the grueling field training that infantrymen must endure. Pogues are not deserving of respect.
A pogue is similar to a R.E.M.F. (Rear echelon motherfucker). Rear echelon means far away from the fight, "in the rear with the gear." Nearly all R.E.M.F.'s are pogues, though not all pogues are R.E.M.F.'s.
"Pogue" is not synonymous with "leg." A leg is what airborne troops call non-airborne troops. Plenty of infantrymen are not airborne-qualified, and are therefore legs, but not pogues. And a pogue can be airborne qualified, and therefore not a leg.

Derogatory military slang used by front line troops to describe staff and other rear echelon or support units/troops
by Finn April 14, 2005
US Army slang, a derogatory name for a non-combat soldier. The term carries with it an implication of unmanliness, homosexuality, even paedophilia, since Hershey bars and other types of candy are known as ‘pogue bait’, illustrating the contempt of the combat soldier for any kind of REMF.
Derived from the Gaelic 'Póg' meaning arse it possibly came to be used originally by American troops of Irish descent but quickly became widespread. In Gaelic one use of the word would be in the phrase ‘Póg mo thóin’ (pronounced pogue mahone) meaning 'kiss my arse'.

That swish REMF from Headquarters is stockin' up on pogue bait again.

.Orininally P.O.G ( Personnel other than Grunts). There are two types of pogues:
1) field pogues: These are the ones that give support to the grunts(infantry) in the field, like communications and transport.
2) office pogues: These are the office troops that sit on their arses in front of a computer with heat in the winter and ac in the summer. Also known as S.O.M.A ( sit on my arse). These are looked down by both, grunts and field pogues.
Field pogues sometimes become grunts because they go everywhere the grunts go, like the the Navy Corpsman or Marine Radio Operator.
