sactroop Posted November 7, 2012 Share #238 Posted November 7, 2012 My FIL outside of Hamilton AFB, CA in early 42. The dog was a camp follower who latched on to him soon after he arrived on station. The dog was always waiting for him every morning and would be there when he got off duty as the Headquarters First Sargent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skautdog Posted January 8, 2013 Share #250 Posted January 8, 2013 Gunbarrel, Thanks for posting. Very enjoyable. I was a Combat Tracker platoon commander (Army) in VN. We used Labs for tracking and sometimes Scout Dogs for detection with Tracker Teams. Despite a kennel of Military Working Dogs we still had a mascot mutt in our rear area where the kennel was.
