In the U.S. military, POG is slang for "Person Other than Grunt," a derogatory or teasing term for service members in non-infantry, support, or administrative roles (like cooks, mechanics, clerks) contrasted with "grunts" (infantry). While often used condescendingly, POGs perform essential roles, and the label can be a source of bravado or mature acceptance, depending on the service member. These two POGs Bobby & Steven have a combine service of 34 years in the Wisconsin Army National Guard, to include two overseas deployments and multiple State Active Duty Missions. ***Warning Mature Audiences Only*** Get all the raw dirt and real-life stories from Bobby & Steven from their time serving in a Combat Arms Battalion. Bobby - 21+ years of service before being Medically Retired as a Sergeant First Class. Steven - 13+ years of service before being Medically Discharged as a Specialist aka (The Godfather of the E4 Mafia).

    Bayonet's? We Don't Need No Stinking Bayonets! | POG Talk

    Description: Most of us never had bayonets that actually mattered, but the military? Oh, they’ve got plenty of opinions—some still hand out knives, others say it’s all just theater. Curious why the Army ditched bayonet training in 2010 or whether Marines still get to swing them in battle? You're about to find out why some units consider bayonets the ultimate overkill — and why others still keep the tradition alive, kinda like an old sitcom you can't quite retire. In this episode, we cut through the confusion about bayonets: were they ever really practical, or just a relic hanging on past their expiration date? We break down the history of the M9 bayonet, the evolution of military tactics, and why modern soldiers often prefer their pocket knives over a metal stick with a sharp edge. You'll discover why the Army stopped training with bayonets, how the Marines keep the tradition alive, and why your rifle’s attachment lugs might be more decorative than functional nowadays. We also talk about the last combat charge with bayonets (hint: it was after the Civil War), the role of suppressors pushing bayonet lugs to the sidelines, and what a diminutive, deli-owning bayonet designer has to do with it all. If you’ve ever wondered whether a bayonet makes sense in today’s battlefield, or just want a good laugh about soldiers counting hundreds of unused knives, this episode is your new favorite military history comedy. Perfect for history buffs, gear geeks, or anyone who loves a good “why the hell do we still do this?” story. Whether you're a military vet, a casual history fan, or just here for some laughs, you’ll walk away knowing that sometimes, Old School just doesn't cut it anymore — but that doesn’t mean the tradition has completely vanished. Hit play, and let’s get to the point: Bayonets? Still kinda dumb, but hey — at least we can all agree on that.
