  I said the same thing. My ex-husband was military (though not boot at all) and you could absolutely find this truck in the px parking lot. Probably driven by a 20 year old with a kid and a pregnant wife who goes shopping off base in his uniform solely so people will thank him for his service.

    Boot is a derisive term referring to young inexperienced people fresh out of boot camp. The mindset refers to doing trashy or foolish things usually coupled with a strong sense of entitlement (“thank me for my service!”).

      Pogue. The word is pogue. As in Pogie bait.

      POG is a backronym and must be obliterated with prejudice.
