Marine Corps Mondays - POGs and Grunts

[@thomasivey4608]

Lol devil my dad was a air force security in Vietnam and he was deployed in Khe Sanh during the siege and he has nothing but good things to say about marines

[@jacobpohlabel4156]

the word POG was actually not intended to carry any kind of derogatory or slanderish meaning for non-infantry marines. It was actually an acronym simply stated as "Personel Other than Grunts"

[@wazupman9able]

Yeah but you have to agree it gets used in a offensive mannner sometimes. Kind of like the word nerd. Nerds aren't bad, but it gets used in a of offensive manner.

[@tlsrob6772]

wazupman9able shut up nerd

[@TheDevildogGamer]

if it doesn't start with 03 = POG

[@johnbiddle7618]

44 airforce security forces disliked the video

[@maxfirth8684]

+John Biddle They sound like the RAF Reg for Americans

[@johnbiddle7618]

Haven't had to deal with them yet thankfully

[@NROperators]

+John Biddle hahaha lol

[@EugeneClaudeVanDamme]

watch out now we got 76 security forces disliked this video

[@xdrag0nhunter224]

Eugene Claude Van Damme now we have 80

[@BlueBuffalo207]

Thats a cool story, but as always, theres another settlement that needs your help. Ill mark it on your map.

[@dylanmorgan2752]

Hehe

[@notenuf8444]

Hahahahaha

[@jones618]

omg. i was in the marines and my co worker was air force security forces and he talks just like that. he had the balls to tell me that he had more training than marines. talks like he is fuckin rambo

[@anthonydouglas702]

Omg. No big deal you know there's a lot of dumbass ppl in this country

[@siegodanchez6487]

when he said i dont pretend to fix aircraft i laughed because thats what i do

[@Covertmaddroxx1]

Dont feel bad devil. I've had an Army reject try to tell me he went to Airborne training and Ranger school in Korea... and that he was deployed to iraq for 3 months. Asked him where his CIB patch was on his ACU's and he had no fucking clue what I was talking about... -_-

[@estebangarcia399]

Did you call him out

[@hippoboy9793]

You better of confronted him

[@marinesheriff1141]

First thing we learned in MOS school was, "We support the infantry." USMC 0861 1999-2007. Semper Fi

[@hippoboy9793]

0321 here semper fi brother

[@TheDevildogGamer]

That is just now starting to happen, US Commanders have recently begun using JSOC assets to that extent but one of the big problems when I was in atleast was SF being used as a normal Infantry when I was in sometimes they would get tasked for HVT Raids but most of the time we saw them doing just normal infantry stuff

[@clap5]

Air Force "Combat Airman" career feild is all Special Operations. PJ's, CCT's, TACP's, SOWT's, tho guys do see action. They get attached to actual combat units. PJ's are basically high speed medics, they are some bad mofo's but they are not out there to take lives. They are out there to save lives even if it means killing other people in the process. It's a demanding career field with very versatile group of guys who can take the role of a medic to a door kicking killing machine. I've tried out for PJ's and it's not for everyone. Hopefully I'll get another shot at it again soon.

[@smellmyclock]

ArmaRes Ye but those "airmen" are under SOCOM. Doesn't count

[@dylanmccallister6739]

PJ is my fucking dream job. I literally practice buddy breathing at work on my lunch break. waiting for MEPs, going to be special vehicle tech so I have a POG position as a fall back if I don't survive the training, plan on going to PJ program after I get done with my school.

[@smellmyclock]

Dylan McCallister Ye.... all talk. How about you start swimming a shit ton, Ruck run a lot, and do lots of calisthenics

[@dylanmccallister6739]

smellmyclock I run 6 miles a day and swim when I can since I work full time. I was on the weight lifting team in high school and haven't stopped, did cross country too.

[@Acesahn]

Grunts dont hate pogs, they just need pogs to know their place.

[@TheGodzebra]

Acesahn And grunts should humble themselves in their places. Their mission would be impossible without, per say, some support from the A-10 or F-15 pilots and maintainers who get you out of the shit when it gets too deep.

[@kiryu2000]

I'm most likely going into MOS 0231 (moving laterally into MOS 0211). So yeah, I'm gonna be a POG, it's good to observe the enemy and their ways of fighting; it saves the lives of fellow Marines and that right there is contribution.

[@andrewjohnson2960]

[@IchigoGyuunyu]

What's the best care package to send Marines?

[@comradematt3683]

PlayBoy.

[@RayMat94]

Marlboro Reds and Copenhagen Long Cut Straight

[@CowboyUp12100]

Marlboro Reds, Copenhagen Long Cut, Beef Raviolis, baby wipes, and new socks

[@brianshelton2254]

Lotion. At least according to my brother.

[@Soonerfrk11]

Cope straight, Marlboro reds, hustler, lotion, and a scooter. We sent my uncle a scooter and he said that shit made him so happy.

[@TheGrimReaper010]

I was planning on becoming an air force security and never thought they were hardcore or anything and I don't plan on acting high speed. Hope you don't hate me for that DDG.

[@TheThorik1]

I was a; 2512 field wire communications. the Marines don't have that MOS anymore. I don't know what the new designation is.

[@josephstephens3406]

does 1371 combat engineer still count as pog

[@vccancerkill5047]

Joseph Stephens yea

[@alldud13]

Joseph Stephens if ur not 03xx you're a pog

[@smellmyclock]

Joseph Stephens unless you're 03xx in the marines, or in any mos starting with 11 in the army (11b, 11c, etc) then you're a fucking worthless pog lmao

[@6402457]

Yeah but a badass glorified POG hahaha

[@mr.nemesis6442]

One of the cooler POG MOS out there

[@WarriorController]

My recruiter just sent in a request for aviation mehanic for my mos which pissed me off but we are waiting for an 0311 to open up for me.

[@ShiGuy89]

It's not all fun and games. I'm an 0313 but I went through ITB as an 0311. Now in 1st LAR. There's a lot of downsides as to being a straight rifleman

[@csMarathonz]

ARCblooper I'm an 0311. Don't do it lol. At Least go 52 or any thing else but riflemen

[@csMarathonz]

ARCblooper Yes you can actually. When you get to SOI after the first month there is what's called a weapons split. That's where you can pick which MOS you will actually fall under. So the 11's, 31's etc will receive their own training. Being an 0311 isn't bad when you are at SOI but in the fleet it's some bull shit. I casually hear good things about weapons however.

[@Timboslice475]

I'm trying to go up for 0351 (Assaultman).

[@RonnieJamesDio666]

RageRay I'm hoping for 0331. I wanna be an ammo bearer. Get fuckin huge. As of right now, I'm 6'2" 200 lbs, 21 years old. I've been told I could probably do it. I hope I can cuz that's the only job in the USMC that I want.

[@NarcOnYT]

Dude you still seem so keen on serving. A lot of British marines go PMC after service, it pays really well and they look past some of the stuff the forces do

[@Porty1119]

I'm planning on going self-propelled artillery in the AR or OK Guard. There's not a huge amount of armor right now, and M109s are the next best thing.

[@flipsternip]

I disagree that about the fact that Para-Rescue is the only Air Force job that gets action. TACP is Air Force, and they are assigned to an army/marines infantry team.

[@johnlandry7720]

Yeah but see how they only get action when they are attached to marines or army? Airforce never just goes off on its own into a firefight

[@grantl32]

+john landry What about Combat Controllers?

[@kylermacintire4823]

+grantl32 CCT's attach to SOF groups. The Air Force is a force multiplier by nature.

[@grantl32]

+Kyler MacIntire Makes sense, basically they're the ones that know what's up lol

[@TheGodzebra]

CCT goes out on their own all the time.

[@kalliebalakhnin7722]

I got two good questions, one, have you ever taken a POW? Two, did you serve in Fallujah?

[@brodiemiller5024]

Cant wait to become a marine im 15 just wait to fight for my country

yaa same way but im one year older only 2 more years baby its killing me to wait

[@strawdawgs78]

I remember seeing interviews of airwingers in Al Asad doing perimeter security and they were like, "Yeah, basically we're doing grunt stuff." I was artillery and I never claimed to be anything other than a POG.

I just signed security forces for the marines…

+Mohammed Smith Its not airforce, goodluck man

[@kittenjuggler1]

+Pepe Cantero sign to security or too the core?

[@TylerPlaysMinecraft]

+Mohammed Smith Ha, you fucked up with that one buddy.

[@kevingonzalez7646]

U doing fast company?

[@ninjaontheedge]

Like all branches it depends on where they need you. Where they slot you. Whom you get slotted with. If they're on a refresh cycle/deployment cycle/etc.

[@viktormladenic3561]

IM 14 and i live in Croatia on the balkan peninsula. My country underwent a war in the 1990s and still suffers today. My goal is to escape from my corrupt goverment into the US and i want to join the corps. Question: IS IT POSSIBLE? I speak english fluently. Viktor

[@Mitchell.H.98]

Yes. As long as you are a US citizen you can join any branch of the US military. If you become a citizen and go to a recruiter make sure you have all papers and same with boot camp.

[@viktormladenic3561]

THX

[@Mitchell.H.98]

No problem!

[@Justin_GFM]

LOL you have the same story as a game character named NIKO BELLIC!

[@viktormladenic3561]

he s serbian though. his real name is Niko Bjelić and in croatia serbs are not really loved but i hold nothing aggainst them

[@chriswhit18cw]

Every time I bring up to my parents about going to the military, my mom always says I should go the air force because they get paid better. Then my dad syas to go to the army because he was in it. And everytime I bring up about the Marines, they get pissed off at me and they don't talk to me thr rest of the day lol. I think it's because they know if I do, there's always the possibility of losing me.

[@chriswhit18cw]

Vincent Quinteros haha

[@AndroidsLab]

First off, you should mention to your mom that every branch of the military gets paid the same amount. In the military, you get paid based on rank and a couple other variables like if you're in a war zone or if you're separated from your spouse. But for the most part, and E-1 in the Marines is going to get as much as an E-1 in the Air Force. I'm enlisted in the Marine Corps and I leave for boot camp next July, but the way I see it is that the Marines are the best of the best, that's why they're "the few. the proud." The only thing I can think of that would make you want to join the Army over the Marines is that in the Army, you can get your job guaranteed to you in your contract.But when it comes down to it, would you rather be a soldier or a MARINE? OOOOOOO MUTHAFUCKIN RAAAAHHH

[@danielmegibben1659]

Hey possible Devil pup. First off remember your family, tradition is at the heart of the Corps. That said it is true the USMC is underpaid all ranks are paid according to rank and time in service but the USMC has higher cuttings scores for promotions and do not get the specialist promotions given to the army (dunno about other branches). The Marine Corps is not about pay its about the honor of being a Marine. Marines are one rank below soldiers of the same billet for example an E4 Marine is supposed to be a teamleader vs an E5 Soldier being a teamleader. Join Marines to be the best of the best, join other branches for pay or benefits. - Battle of Marjah/ Sangin Veteran

[@briangates4733]

You can lose your life in all the branches except coast guard. Even then, you can still lose it. Why should they care what branch you want to join?

[@Acrion177]

I know this was a month ago but I just wanted to say that I know your pain man. I want to be a Navy SEAL and every time I bring it up my parents get pissed off and tel me to join the AF. I'm 18 and almost done with HS and I will study my ass off for the ASVAB test and prepare myself for BUD/S. Just wanted to say, do what YOU want to do.

[@Mcgritzner]

AF SF aren't all bad. I know what you mean about the whole "blue beret" thing, but look, some where attached to ASOS as dog handlers, some real tier 1 stuff. I saw one guy had is ranger tab, but even he was a pararescue washout. And in the end, they do have their own Countersniper school, & have had airmen die in the line of duty. So, no real reason to look down on them, except for 90% of them are idiots.

[@jonathandebona8934]

his point about pararescue is they rarely ever get missions, not that they suck at their job. and ranger school doesnt make you a ranger, its just a school not a selection for a unit.

[@Mcgritzner]

Ha, I'm well aware Deebona ;)

[@chasechappell2509]

Hey Devil! I am currently in Navy Corps school, I am trying to get orders for FMTB. I was wondering if you could talk about your corpsman? What did you like about them, what didn't you like? How were they viewed as a whole through out the fleet? Stories? Any information would be awesome!

[@vadimbelinski6175]

best pog mos??? deff the medics/corpsman

[@JohnDoe-cx9hv]

Those aren't POGs. Medics/Corpsman are docs. Nobody calls them a grunt or a POG

[@RolyPoly24]

[@vadimbelinski6175]

no way..i could of sworn that they were airforce

[@Gameboyycolor1]

+Babazooba fuck you pog

[@av202900]

Have u ever had a close encounter with a enemy, like did one run at u or something like that?

[@chriskelly331]

Why do the Air Force Special Forces always get left out or picked on. They have more types of special forces there than any other branch. This is the list I can think of there is Combat Controllers (who often can get detached to the Army Rangers, 1st Operational Detachment Force Delta aka Delta Force, Navy SEALs, Marines Force Recon,etc), AF Special Tactics, AF Foward Air Controller (although very similar to the Combat Controllers), and Pararescue. It's sad that most people don't know how awsome Air Force Special Ops are. Chances are if anywhere is being invaded by the air such as mass paradrops at least one spec ops operator is Air Force. Please before you comment read up on the Air Force. Yes Security Forces do brag alot, but please don't think Air Force Expeditionary is the same though.

[@Zapbackify]

Devil, question, whats the biggest act of bravery/selflessness you've seen in your time in the marines?

[@Sphere723]

Truman was right about the marine corps.

[@connorduffy3726]

[@heresjonny666]

Have you ever gotten an injury in a firefight?

[@autoloon]

Generation Kill does a pretty good job explaining the relationship between POG and grunts lol

[@ARMYboy513]

Bug him constantly, mine told me Infantry wasn;t open and for 3 months every week i asked him if it's open and the SNCO got me Infantry. Just keep asking them about it or wait until Oct 1st when jobs open up again.

[@xSeaCowx]

What was your civilian interaction like? How often can you send/receive mail from home? What did you personally do to battle boredom?

[@CRQ5508]

If you could go back to when you were 18, instead of going into the Marine Corps, what would you have done instead?

[@Tzarkaan]

Did you feel that the training you received pre-deployment was enough, or did you come across something while on deployment you wished was covered, or covered more during training?

[@makogamer733]

Devil, what is the worst thing that has gone wrong in an operation you have been involved in ?

[@curtiswhitley3505]

Were you ever told or close to being told to fix bayonets

[@rockon4ever182]

CE's I saw (Army and Marines) just ran to cover while we engaged the enemy during ambushes. They had plenty of toys (trucks with CROWS systems even), but were hesitant to move once shooting started. Most wouldn't even scan with their thermals for targets (didn't want to move their truck and risk being exposed), and let us go in on foot to flush the enemy out. Some can hold their own, but most were fairly unimpressive. Either way, they're still POGs. Just POGs with bombs.

[@dlthepirate]

In case you resume MCMs: Can you talk about B-billets? What are they, options, benefits, etc.?

[@GodOfSwat]

Please tell some of your best experiences with USMC equipment! SMAWs? AT4s? 240s? A-10s? AAVs? Etc etc

[@goonie1995]

[@crawdog2472]

for the Q&A what situation in the marines like in combat, made you completely go: "oh crap im screwed"

[@praizedalordxd]

FMF/Green side Corpsman, and Navy SARCs, who are they, what do they do, and what's their role in helping the USMC.

[@1smartperson5656]

I've got two questions, when you go in combat what do you do if you have to use the bathroom? How do glasses/contacts work in the military?

Could you do a video about the Westboro Baptist Church on their protest of dead soldiers. I'm curious to know your thoughts about it.

[@ALMOST3520]

You said if you could do it all again; and not be infantry... What MOS would you have chose?

[@dlthepirate]

Can you tell us about Navy Corpsmen attached to Marine infantry units? Bad hazing being the 1 Navy guy in a sea of Marine grunts? Any stories related to them?

[@BloodBricksStudios]

For the Q&A. Do you have any stories or opinions on the Australian Army. Probs not but if you do i would like to hear. Thanks

[@c.s.k.5813]

I got one, Smith, have u ever got shot (not to be confused with 'shot at', but specifically "got hit")? If so, can u tell us what that was like?

[@Ninjaonfoot]

I'm with "CrimzonStriker", I to wanna know what the army did over seas for you to think of them badly for the most part.

[@alexman941]

How well do you think you'd have fared as a soldier/marine during WW2 in any given theatre?

[@Luke-rf9ox]

Thinking of joining the army as an artillery gunner (not American army) just wondering your opinion of those guys and the environments they work in.

[@Elcapbro]

Can you please talk about the sense of brotherhood or the relationship you have with your fellow soldiers such as the development of trust and how you did or can overcome the difficulties of working with someone who is proven to be incompetent in their duties? Cheers

[@fletch0307]

The show for pararescue is "Inside Combat Rescue:. You can find It on youtube. Like so others can see!. I would also like to know, DevilDog, if you have ever seen PJ's come help your unit for casevac or something. I am really interested in joining them.

[@REdiFier]

what are you thoughts on the navy seals, and the like the missions they undergo today?

[@marines21575]

My brother is in the Air Force and he's a security forces guy.. But he's a K-9 handler. And he was on patrols with the army and the marines. And he was in fire fights. He got it on video. But he doesn't do what you said some of them do.

[@QizPatito]

Is the wear and tear of the marine corps really bad? i.e. your hearing (explosions, gunfire), humps, and lack of sleep. stuff like that

[@chouser3216]

A FMF MARDIV Corpsman is basically a Marine. A goal for them is to get the moniker "Doc" or "Devil Doc". They're in charge of field medicine and keeping you alive when you get fucked up. A Navy SARC ( Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsmen) is the same thing but more heavily trained for the more heavily trained Recon units they'd be assigned to.

[@RattyzCHANNEL]

What do you think about butterbars and what was the worst incedent you had with a 2nd Lt

[@Bulldog3913]

Devildog my dad was a corpsman in the 80s working with marine recon.. Can you tell me the relationship between the corpsmen and Marines?

[@Alexander19851]

Can you tell me why does the marine corps needs a air force when they have the navy to give them fire support.

[@Mvonada]

go through and read American Sniper if you haven't, Chris Kyle[R.I.P] mentions how at one point he ended up puting down his rifle and grabbed an M4 and started breaching with Marines cause he was tired of seeing them come out injured being as he was trained for it better and had better equipment. But he says alittle something along the lines of "In the end were all equal, sure im better trained i may have better equipment but in the end im truly no better then anyone else"

[@TheClate55]

devil what was your favorite rifle, vehicle and favorite place you were deployed to?

[@seanmartin5056]

DevilDog- how helpful do you think support is... As in Air Force aircraft support and mortar/Howitzer teams. Do you think that the infantry could win battles without them?

[@julianvilla5536]

I a brand new boot and before I enlisted, I had a instructor in trade school who was in the airforce. He talked as if he was deployed to Fallalujah

[@romeomike4]

what was you experience with PMC's or private security contractor's and did you think about joining them when you left the marines

[@jimmydevron5480]

quick guess would be air force to be a heli pilot but i don't know

[@Solidsidious]

I don't know if this has been answered before, I've seen some of your other videos, but if not: What was your most favorite moment, while deployed with the Marines?

[@inclineairsoft8101]

would you recommend joining the marines to be an attack helicopter pilot?

[@IamUSMC2019]

He said in the MCM. I think it was the whos your daddy episode. Not sure tho.He said that he has been getting that question a lot and answered is. While in iraq he only served with the army, and maybe navy

[@shaneforzano7486]

I love DevilDog's videos and after I graduate I plan on joining the Marines. Is there anyone in the reserves who can compare it to active duty? I was considering the reserves instead of active duty so i can still do an electrician's apprenticeship and serve at the same time. Any input would be helpful, thanks

[@brenden176]

What was the trip over Iraq like from home? I mean like how you arrived and first impressions

Do you consider 80404 POGs or did you just forget about them? What are your experiences with 8404?

Hey Devildog, have you watched the HBO series' Pacific and Generation Kill being focused on Marines? And do you think they signify the Marines overall from past to present.

[@tylerfuturejarhead5069]

Hey DD Would a Combat Engineer really be a POG because they are usually boots on the ground down to the dirt and fighting, doing room clearing and such. Im going to be a Combat Engineer in like 2 years or at least going to try to be.

In a mcm or the q/a can you give a basic run down of a day in boot camp, like when did stuff happen and how long
