.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.
