There were grunts that had been in combat but for some reason or another were in the above named Pogue jobs. And there were those non-grunt MOS Pogues that were in the grunts, doing combat in a grunt MOS.
A case in point was when the 27th Marines mounted out of Camp Pendleton in 1968, to Vietnam. The grunt ranks were filled by cooks, motor T, bakers, admin types that did a tour as a grunt.
I was an 0302 flying in the airwing in my secondary MOS of 0805. Also an 0351 walking patrol as an M.P. at Camp Fuji in 1956.
Also an 0369 Plt. Comm leading a Recon Plt. in Vietnam but earlier NCOIC at a Pistol Range, Rifle Range and on the firing line as a PMI at Camp Matthews (MCRD San Diego).
From what I read in these Forums concerning Pogues it is somewhat different than it used to be in the manner in which some discribe a Pogue. Hey have a nice day. Semper Fidelis. Blackcoat.

I was an 0311 and didn't spend more than 12 months in the infantry. Six months in Nam, six at Lejeune and the rest as an MP, Brig guard, and H&S company at Quantico.
What was your MOS before you became an officer Blackcoat? What is 0302?

031153, as a snuffy I was a 0351, then from Sgt E4 up to GySgt an 0369 with several secondary MOS's. Upon receiving a commission became an 0302/0805 and whatever a NGF Air Spotter MOS was. Then disignated as a Marine Gunner and remained an 0302/0805. Later was disignated a 9960 (Aerial Observer). An 0302 is an Infantry Officer. Thanks for asking and my pleasure letting you know. Semper Fidelis. Blackcoat.
