I usually take the humvee express, so I don't feel like a mule too often. One of the grunts was giving me a hard time on the last dismounted patrol I was on. He kept calling me a POG and said I should carry some real gear. So, I tried him my pack and M4 for his pack and SAW. He changed his tune after about a mile or so. That and other occurrences that day earned me the title of Super POG from 3/3 out of Hawaii.
