That's cool. I just have one question....

If one were to seek out Dexter on any given day, would he be found sitting at the bar, telling war stories? :costumes:


Sorry, I couldn't resist.

They are definately a forgotten about group.

We arrived at a forward location one time only to be put into transient quarters. The female pilot in the group was billeted close to the K9 barracks (no jokes please) and could not sleep as a result. She went, saught out the handlers and they passed the time talking about each one. Apparently, one dog was particularly upset because his handler was on leave while his wife was having a baby. I don't recall if she was able to pet the dogs. I doubt it.
