Oh yeah, what's a pog?
You are the second or third person in the Army I have come across that does not know what a POG is.
POG is a term that has been in use since WWII.
It means Person Other than Grunt. Basically non Infantry. MOS's like supply, admin, clarinet player, etc.
GRUNT itself is also an acronym from WWII. It means Ground Replacement Usually Not Trained. It refered to soldiers straight out of Basic that were sent into theater as replacements but never received any more training.
While I was in the Army I was most unfortunate to have some POGs placed under me to supplement my team while we traveled from Baghdad to Kuwait. One of the POGs came up to me crying because, and I quote, "One of the guys was mean to me!" A grown man was crying because his feelings were hurt. I had never had that happen before. I really had no idea what to do.
That was where the thin skin comment came from. I am not comparing you to the crying POG. It was simply an example and perhaps not the best one. If you are interested I can give you many more examples.
About your holster comment. I like SERPAs but I also have a variety of leather holsters. I think I have seven. Lots of different holsters for lots of different uses. Most of them were purchased before I started OC'ing.
