Here's a distinction you may want to keep in mind about pogues, in the Marine Corps.

If the "pogue" is assigned to an infantry unit, the pogue performs both infantry functions and admin functions when the unit deploys overseas.

The "pogue" is not desk bound or excused from his infantry responsibilities in USMC ground combat units, he will operate in the field, just like any other rifleman.

In reality the pogue is pulling double duty, no place for slacker or shitbird.
