Civil War

There’s a great many jobs one can do in the military–more than you’d probably think. Hell, did you know there’s a “Water Support Technician” MOS (1171) in the Marine Corps? Who would have thought that something so POG-y and lame could actually exist amongst the war fighting infantry?

Not me.

There’s so many different jobs and occupational fields that of course it’s created a kind of rift between different enlisted Marines. There’s the infantry, and then there’s the POG’s (personally I put air wing into a 3rd category, but that might just be me).

As we’ve discussed before, they’re not all treated equally. Each group has their own culture and subcultures within it, often rarely even interacting with one another. The average grunt almost never works directly with Marines outside of the infantry, leading to natural rivalries and notions between them.

In personal news, I’ve officially left the LA area and relocated back to the San Francisco Bay Area! Not the craziest move, but enough to gain some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of LA. I want to do a longer post or video on what’s been going on with everything, but maybe that is something for the TL Patreon.
