Cooks are told that without them, no one would eat. Drill sergeants tell new recruits that THEIR job is the most important job in the Army. With soldiers of all jobs in the Army coming in contact with the enemy it really became about the grunt v. With the Global War on Terror (GWOT) there were no more front lines. A POG (Person Other than Grunt) is everyone else. The term grunt used to refer to just Infantry and later to combat arms soldiers in the Army. Even though I was going on a mission in less than 10 minutes and the mount would help me be more combat effective, the guy who never left the wire kicked me out not because it made tactical sense, but because he can. Despite the fact that I was on the far said of the hut and not anywhere near them, I couldn’t be in the same building while they did pushups. He said that they were doing their morning PT and so I had to leave. So I was surprised when the supply sergeant kicked me out of the supply hut. That is why I didn’t think it would be a big deal. The week before the supply sergeant had told me that the extra gear in the box was not accountable so I could grab what I wanted anytime. There was a part missing from my machine gun mount so I went into the supply room to see if they had what I needed. I was in Khost Province on FOB Salerno and about to go on a mission. How it should have been in the first place.
