I actually think this would be more accurate the other way around, since it has been my experience that only grunts think about this kind of stuff.
91
Came here to say this. Grunts are obsessed with pointing out that POGs exist and they arent them.
56
It's like an abused child that grows up to be manipulative and always blames others. We just have to give them a smile and affirming nod "Sure buddy, you were a great grunt."

I think it is more like a dog that has an abusive human that feeds it only red meat because the owner thinks "More Protein = better dog". Only for this pumped up dog to bark at the baby poodle next door in it's lavish upbringing. One dog looses it's shit barking and jumping and showing how much dog the dog can do, the poodle licks it's dick and smiles.

If you aren’t thinking about us, then we are doing our job. But I’d rather be a POG in peace time anyways. Have fun larping for the next 10 years boys

Honestly I agree, I did 2 pumps in Iraq in the 2000s , if i were to join military during peace it’d be coast guard

100% I always felt oddly satisfied with the idea I joined during the invasion and got to fuck shit up as a grunt my entire enlistment. Peace time? I would have joined the band like my recruiter told me.

They are badass musicians!

The wing is it's own special kind of hell. You think you want to get to do your job every day, until you're doing your job every day.

For 12 hours a day.

It’s like that with truck maintenance too. Modern grunts bitch and talk shit about POGs, but all I’m saying is I’ve never had it where I just PT, get some hip pocket classes and then fuck off at 1300 in my room playing COD the rest of the day. Anyone who has ever had to work inside the maintenance cycle will never say that POGs have it easy or better.

This is marine corps boomer humor, except it's from 19 year old 03s less than a year out of ITB.

I was an 0311 in the 2000s 🤷♂️

I liked how they were either jacked or fat. Made sense when I realized they had the best chow halls and gyms.
22
I beg to differ. On lejuene the best chow hall was the bands chow hall. All the rest were crap. I would know, I was a 2nd tk bn, motor-t pog.
12
There was a band chow hall?
6
Not far from courthouse bay, close to 10th MarReg, I think. It’s been awhile. Almost across from the PO.
1
I think he's trying to confirm that there was a chowhall that only serviced like 50 people. I'm hoping the chow hall served a wide audience, but was just located close to the band hall.
2
I was stationed at Cherry Point, my brother in law was at Lejuene. When I’d go to visit I was in awe of how much nicer the facilities and chow halls were.
Keep in mind the chow hall at Cherry Point was in a trailer for a few years in the early 2010s, and we had one gym for a few thousand personnel.

You do the fighting. We do all the other shit, including the fighting.
21
I don’t know why grunts are so bitter about pogs doing pog shit like working in an office and having better lives. It’s not like grunts get to do shit these days. All they get are MEUs where they get sent to the chow hall and UPDs to Okinawa. Fuck that lmao

Lol

He says he doesn’t think about us yet he is making memes about us.

Grunt buddy tells me they do nothing on meus but shoot paper targets occasionally and clean everything Chinese style.

The marines really is just a big dick swinging contest on who’s lives were more miserable. It’s nauseating. Literally no one outside the marines cares and you can have a personality not attached to your MOS.
No one cares if you deployed to Kuwait. Fuck.
9
Well, dudes do join to be challenged 🤷♀️ I can see why people would take pride in having overcome tests and difficulties others haven’t. Yes, I do agree the pissing contest is annoying buuuut at the time it was going on it was hard not to buy into it and have a chip on your shoulder.

No one cares if you deployed to Kuwait. Fuck.
I know what you actually mean, but what did I do to you, man?
1
I’m not talking about you personally lol. It’s the guys who constantly feel the need to brag. Just be humble about it. If we really wanted to make this a competition then we should find the WW2 vets and talk to them
1
Until they see all their POG buddies picking up.

Its literally the reverse.

How those knees treating you all these years later? Hope you get a nice VA check every month!

Every man’s a rifle man, rah?

Whatever happened to 03xx central?

There was a lot more pussy in the Wing!

“How dare you not lick the same amount of boots that I do”
Did I get that right? Remember bullets don’t fly without supply, and you can’t say bye to moms without the comms.

Meanwhile gas grunts straight hating life and still being called a Pog wanting to be infantry and hating legit Pogs a vicious cycle indeed

I feel like grunts bitch about POGs way more but maybe that’s cuz I was a bitchy grunt
Most of us are lol. I think in Patton he said it’s when your troops stop complaining is when you should be concerned
I feel like we just bitch about POGs because they're soft and it's fun to point that out.
Depends what grunts you’re talking about 🤷🏻♀️ most grunts nowadays don’t even deploy. Grunts from 2005 when I came in actually did grunt things.
I have many friends who were cooks in 05 and let me tell you, those boys didn't do much cooking, at least not of food.
[deleted]
I was a grunt and I did grunt shit.
Just saying, I met alot of guys that werent grunts that did more grunt shit than any grunts now do.
If you went on a combat deployment….thank you for your service…. If you didn’t… sorry you missed the war bro 🤷🏻♀️

This is what boot grunts think
I was a grunt in the late '80's/early 90's, call me a boot again 😂
Boot.
They don’t go to the field, they don’t shoot, they don’t get fucked in the rain. They get the same paycheck without the same physical exertion. I personally think that’s wild
You think aircraft only fly when it's sunny out or what? Even if they're not flying do you think all the broken ones are in some nice cozy warm hangar?
Do you sleep in the rain?
We don’t have hangars? We are broker than I thought. Also don’t try to compare working on a plane to being a grunt as far as conditions outside go, that’s just absurd dude.
