Was anyone actually offended by being referred to as any of these things?
When i was at Bragg an official memo came out starting the term "leg" was offensive and all non-airborne personnel would henceforth be referred to as "NAP". Now some people are offended by that term.

Leg is offensive, it is meant to be. It should make you want to go airborne. Even more at Ft. Bragg. I was there in 62 for the Cuban Missile Crises. The Garrison MPs got it especially hard. Even today veterans will brag about being anything but a REMF. Anyone can buy a hat.

MSG Wyatt Smith I spent 10 years at Ft. Bragg and love every sec. I was called lag everyday and it never bothered me. They could call me leg all they wanted but my work and appearance spoke for who i was when i was at Ft. Bragg.

A leg is a straight legged Soldier who is not Airborne. A nap is what you take after a field exercise. The rest is just nonsense.

I think we are becoming or have become to sensitive to too many things in this nation and would venture that the people that complain are very few in number, but because of our knee jerk reactions to their complaints the small minority drives change.....not everyone will be happy..that's a fact of life....toughen up and live with it, these are words and acronyms that by themselves hurt no one....by the way, if you do not like being a leg or a NAP...go airborne!

I'd rather be a POG than a REMF. At least POGs leave the relative "safety" of the FOB sometimes.
