What does Pogue mean in slang?
Pogue is American pejorative military slang for non-infantry MOS (military occupational specialty) staff, and other rear-echelon or support units.
"Pogue life is all fun and nothing not. You can worry about it after we're done surfing. It's going out and having fun and then when you come back to shore, you can deal with everything." Rudy Pankow, who plays JJ, agreed saying that Pogues are able to look at things differently thanks to the way they live life.
