    Our group adopted a dog unit a year ago over in the sand box.  It was fun thinking of things to send out.

    You will be in my prayers that all Moms pray for deployed troopers.

    Hey friend,

    Feel like its been FOREVER since I have been on here. I have been wondering about David and his deployment. Well things have changed for Nick he got to about 3 weeks left in K9 school and had gotten 3 marks on him and decided he was not ready do that . He thought that he needed to work some and go back in a couple of years. He got a great recommendation to come back. He said he was in there with guys who had been in the military a while and he could really tell a difference with himself and them. He will be going to Rota Spain. Do you know if they have their passport before they go? He does not have one yet, and I am worried because he leaves San Antonio in the am. WHat is your experience  with that? Hope all is well for you, keep me updated on David, you and him are in my prayers daily . :)

    Hey glad to hear all is good for you. Nick didn't get bitten, he just had marks against him, one he was stading too close to another guy and his dog, they both got marks for that, the second was the choke chain was not on tight, and the last was they were inspecting cars (on the teaching field ) and his dog broke loose from him. He said that he could really tell the difference in himself and the others there that had more military experience. Maybe they should go back to the old rule , work some then come for MWD. He wants to go back but will wait a few years. Keep me posted on David. We will definitely go to visit Spain! Let me know if I can send anything to your sailor, give me his address and we will send goodie boxes.
