== The USMC got that "Devil Dog" moniker from the Germans in WW! Maybe Archie needs a "Smokey Bear" hat to complete the picture. Not sure about the pogie rope- decorative dress cord perhaps? But we called candy bars "pogey bait"== a pogey is like a "Snuffie" or a "REMF"- an office clerk- and if you wanted orders cut or re-cut, you "baited the pogey" with a candy bar to get that mission accomplished- at least that was the story I heard- I'm not a Jarhead with a sweet tooth however--until Guinness and Killians start making that product at least!!
