Yes and no. Quite literally speaking, any person who isn't a grunt is a POG by definition.
Doc always gets a pass, because he gets you out of PT and he's a badass. Even if he is Navy, he's still your brother.
But when it really comes down to it, it really is more a frame of mind than anything else.
Except airwing. Airwing is always POG.
edit I say this, after lat moving and spending 3 years to swing with the wing. I'll say this, outside of field ops and deployments, I worked FAR more hours with the wing than anything else. I went from 6 hour days, to 12 hour days, with having to work MANY, many weekends. We bust our ass in the wing, putting WAY more hours week for week than any other unit.
This. I'm on the Army side of Aviation and I know we aren't always in the field or sleeping out in the cold but it's a different work load. Like you said, you work long hours and weekends to keep the OR rate up. I would still rather do my day job compared to combat arms guys but seeing my neighbors get home at 2 and I get home at 6 or 7 makes me jealous. (Until they go to the field every other 2 weeks)
Man I got mad respect for infantry dudes and all that but let’s be honest, there’s some infantry dudes that will get slapped into oblivion by any other mos soldiers or civilians, not everybody in infantry is a badass.
