rtd_sf_eng Posted May 18, 2022 #377 Posted May 18, 2022 At Camp Duc Hua (A-351/326) we had a great mascot/watch dog. Her name was VC as the story I was told was she was with a squad of VC when our people ambushed them. Someone brought her to the camp and after a while, she would bark and anyone other than an American who came close to our buildings. I never did find out what happened to her after I left. Larry

Hiya, Well I can only say well done, I owned that mask for forty years and sold it at auction here in France in 2018 / 2019. We exchanged emails when you bought it asking if it was actually the one I sold and shown in my book. We never really own these things we look after them for the next person, I am pleased that it theoretically should survive for eternity now it's in a museum. regards lewis. ...

BeansEnHay Posted January 28, 2024 #400 Posted January 28, 2024 Great story about Sinbad. There is a tradition of morale dogs in the Coast Guard. I was stationed at a somewhat remote USCG Loran Transmitting station, Hokkaido, Japan for most of 1989. There were at least three dogs at this station. They had the run of the place, with the exception of the mess deck. We had an SS1 and a Japanese civilian cook. The dogs were scared of the latter, and would not so much as break the plane of the doorway with their noses. - you can just make out part of our 600 foot antenna in the back right of the photo. There were no more than 25 Coasties here, with a LTJG officer in charge, a Warrant, and a couple of chiefs, a DC, a Corpsman, a bunch of ETs, a few MKs, an SK, and a half dozen .non rates. The dogs would simply latch on to someone who liked dogs, and that guy would take care of it til his year was up. Of course the dogs wanted to be outside, so they would wander off with anyone going for a walk or what. There was a beach less than a mile from the station that was great for beach combing after storms. The dogs were always up for the beach. They would go to work with us as well. Here is Brutus in the Timer room where we monitored the signal, and sent and received comms. Emergency fuel storage with morale dog “Bobo” and friends in the foreground relaxing in the sun above the station. Time to get back to work. Rob
