Do they still have the "Friends of SOF". This sounds very similar.

We were arrested once by the SPs at NKP for using our "dog handler" skills on one of their Shepherds...but that's a story to be told among really close friends over a beer or two or...

HaHA.
Friends of SOF seemed to be a good organization. Of course we also had a local garden club that liked to visit the wind tunnel. Friends of SOF I can support but give me a break a freaking garden club.

I knew a Phase III instructor that static-lined with his Lab in a CIWI bag. The dog must not have liked jumping very much because the dog's bowels and kidneys both evacuated in copious amounts. (Rumour has it that the instructor ensured that the dog had not eaten nor drank any water for the entire day before the jump, but some industrious students both fed and watered the dog about 3 hours before the jump). The defication stayed in the bag but covered the dog. The urine also covered the dog, but had the additional benefit of leaking through the CIWI bag all over the instructor.
I do not think that the dog ever jumped again.

When I had Tower Branch and HHC 1-507th, our BAC companies had dogs as mascots and all of them were airborne qualified with diplomas and jump wings.
Such mascots were an old tradition in the 507th going back to their original formation and training in Alliance, NE, prior to movement to Europe for Overlord.
The dogs were a great motivator for the students going through the BAC; would run every morning up front with the Co Cdr, guide-on bearer, and keeper of the wings; and would be jumped with the class during Jump Week. We would just put a modified rucksack harness on the dogs with lowering line, attach them under the reserve like a ruck, and then they were jumped by company cadre; never had one defecate, urinate, or bite anyone during a jump. The dogs would be led around among the students while they were waiting to board the a/c and it had a great calming effect on them.
The dogs were also one of the best therapies for a student who was either struggling with the training or with a personal matter - you would go by the CQ desk and see a student or two sitting there on the floor with the dog, petting and talking to them and among themselves; better than a psych or a chaplain for many of them.
