"Pogeybait" is unauthorized junk food and implies civilian decadence, lack of fitness, etc.
WRONG! The expression you're looking for on junk food is gedunk, not pogeybait. That is what junk food is called.
But I don't think CWOJackson was going there with it. If you've always been a civilian, take it as a complement.
Oh, I have a pretty good idea where he was trying to go with it.
I haven't always been a civilian. Having been in the Navy I know exactly what gedunk is. I've a pretty damned good idea what pogeybait is too, though I've never heard it before.

LOL! Now we know why someone mentioned pogeybait sailors! ...same thing.

There was a Tomahawk fire control sailor who was crazy enough to transfer to my MOS and a company I was in, once, but he was fairly cool in the field--not like some of the admin. and other REMFs who avoided us.
