"For decades, the Green Berets have been the quiet professionals of Fort Bragg, spiriting away to war zones to conduct covert operations or working with foreign governments to train commandos to fight drug cartels, communist rebels and terrorists................"

Nice little story for your morning enjoyment.

Interesting take on why this was accomplish..........Is this the first time they've done this at all or recently ?..............;)

"If you have to tell people your special, you're just trying to convince yourself."

DOC,

Yeap and that Texas Sun has gotten to your head again. Take your meds :D

It is a SF NCO that has gone to Canine handler course and then goes to or really gets his dog while at the course and they work together for sometime. Then they come back to their Group and deploy with there BN. It is a Ten times better system than getting a borrowed dog from some sister service. It's not a NEW MOS, just a new ASI for the NCO.

I just wished that we got EOD tech within each BN. Guys outisde of Group, you have to "Train up" at a fire base while doing missions.

Nice to see USASFC getting more of the Community involed with SF. I know we have always done it. While I was at SWC I think there was something a Quarter, but never in the paper. Only time SF was in the FAYOBS was somethng bad hit the news.

Job well done Guys!!

That's just friggin COOL!!!

Wonder if they would let their PA go - I sign in next week! :D

The men who stare at dogs.;)

I heard they did...once...but the PA married the dog in a PETA sanctioned civil ceremony and then sued the DOD when they wouldn't recognize his request for partnership bennies...but I understand that may change soon. :rolleyes: :D :D
