In accordance with the ROE of this website, I have searched high and low for an answer to my question. If per chance I have missed my answer, I do apologize. I will improve my SA, stay in my lane, do PT, work on my 25m target, or work on any other colorful insights you have to offer me for my lack of Rowan like behavior. I have a well trained german shepherd and a wolf. How diffficult will it be for me to take care of my dogs during the Q course? I have made arrangements for them for basic, AIT, Airborne, and SOPC. Should I make arrangements for them for SFQC? Keep in mind that the wolfpack is my family. I am not sure if I should find this funny or scary; but, my mother told me to find a good girl and knock her up so I have someone to watch the dogs. My reply to her advice...Thanks mom

Are the dogs male or female? Fixed?
Option One, adoption. Two, turn them out into the Michigan woods. Three, take them out back and put them down. Four, send them to the Reservation, we like dog.
What would a logical, aware, and educated person do?

You are a very twisted, mean, unsympathetic, ruthless and cruel bastard! And I'm damn glad to know you! There's so few of us left......;)
TS,
They also have a facebook page and will post pics of the pets being watched back home by the foster parents. Really cool idea, glad someone thought of it. Makes a lot of sense. Being an animal/pet lover, I really like being able to see the pics they post with the fosters when the pets look very well-taken care of and comfortable.

Dude, you gotta figure out how to reduce the weirdness level first.

I've seen domestic dogs turned out in Wyoming. Females are quicky absorbed by wolves, but only if they are young, breedable and of the larger breeds, (Golden Retrievers, Labs, German Shepards, etc.). I would not expect any dog to survive a winter without superior hunting, theft, fighting skills and a shout winter coat.
Males of any breed are just chewed up, wolf or not.

Shepherd is male. Wolf is female. Both fixed. What would a logical, aware, and educated person do? Put the dogs before himself. They like the Res in Michigan.

Sir, I will work on that right away. Your not the first person to tell me that or the last. Im laughing so hard right now. Thank you.

Stop and think here for a bit. The animals are your's - for now.
Basic, AIT, BAC starts adding up to a lot of time to farm out your pards. The Q Course will be in and out, here and there - and a PCS to Bragg which means you have to find a place to live - that allows large pets.
Your two friends are large animals and they would not be very happy in a crate all day - and might start destroying an appartment out of loneliness.
It sounds simple - zip in for PT - zip home play with the critters - back to work - home for lunch - work - oops have to work late.
And then you graduate and deploy. "SGM I can't deploy - my dog & wolf sitter bailed on me."
Think long and hard on what you're fixin' to do.

You're beginning to think, a bit. Dog are not humans, they're dogs, and they think like dogs, they will live like dogs, and love those who treat them as such. I'm a big dog lover myself, but I also love chicken soup.
Find a good home for them, and leave.
Be advised, my desire to enter SF was strong. I gave one friend a truck, another a car. I gave my folks a hug and a few other friends a complete set of young girl friends and a few older experienced lovers.
All seemed happy with the exchange, I focused on training.

Everything you say is true. The pack have never been in a crate before and wouldn't want to start. They are good for long periods of time as long as they get PT every day. I don't really want to be distracted by the pack while I am training; so, I would not leave. I don't really have a problem paying to have someone watch them. I have friends in Columbus. I would never use my animals as an excuse not to deploy. I could get my family to watch my pack for 6-12 months. I guess after getting all this advice, my dilemma is the long term care for my animals. What is my responsibility to my dogs? Can I justify myself?

Your great. Thank you! Got rid of everything else. Just trying to square the dogs away.

For some, the SFAS and SFQC is shorter than for others.
You will likely be back home sooner than you think.

I hear you loud and clear. Ill work on what needs to be done now and worry about that bridge when I cross it. I have a long way to go, I just like to have a plan. Fortunately or unfortunately, I dont have a wife or kids, just dogs. But, I cant help wondering that the responsibilities you feel for wife, kids, or dogs would hinder or be a tell as to likely success. Any insights? For me, I get a sense of drive, power, and determination from mine.
From mine I get looks of, "Welcome home, what's for dinner?"

Listen to your mom.
I'm a guest here, but have been doing the AF thing for 20+ years and have lost track of how many trips and deployments there have been. Through it all a loving, independent and capable wife has held the house together and has made it easy to bug out for months at a time within minutes. Don't know how I'd have done it all these years without her. I could see a strong wife like her being an asset to a QP, if you can find one. Craigslist maybe? YMMV.

The list of people I have known that were extremely successful in Special Forces due to the support of their wife and family is huge...
so is the list of people who's careers have been demolished by their wife (wives, as in 2nd, 3rd, 4th...girlfriends...BTW, never let the first group meet the second...especially if they're both being courted at the same time).
Focus on your 25m target...try BCT first...see if you can handle that...AND being away from your "family."

Way of the Wolf: If you are asking these type of questions now, and seeking advice from people on this site, seems to me your decision making process is not what will be required at SFAS. TR said it best " SFAS and SFQC are shorter for some than others", RECONSIDER your future plans. Regard's, Tom Kelly
