Pat Riot Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Yeah, well, the dogs don’t freakin’ care and any soldier that whines about it should go on permanent latrine duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Pretty simple. An E1 K9 is actually an E6 in human rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dog earns 6 years time in grade for every human year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Just hope the dog in on the al-Baghdadi raid will be okay. Not report on its condition except for the fact that it suffered injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 i was curious about veterinary Corps Branch insignia Active 1916 – present day Country United States Branch United States Army Website Veterinary Corps The U.S. Army Veterinary Corps is a staff corps (non-combat specialty branch) of the U.S. Army Medical Department (AMEDD) consisting of commissioned veterinary officers and Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) veterinary students. It was established by an Act of Congress on 3 June 1916.[1]Recognition of the need for veterinary expertise had been evolving since 1776 when General Washington directed that a "regiment of horse with a farrier" be raised.[2] It has evolved to include sanitary food inspectors and animal healthcare specialists. The Veterinary Corps is supported by warrant officer and enlisted AMEDD personnel. Warrant officers are the core of its Food Inspection service. Enlisted personnel can serve as Food Inspection Specialists and Animal Care Technicians; enlisted collar insignia lacks the 'V' and is the same as that worn by medics.[3] The U.S. Army Veterinary Service is currently[when?] composed of more than 700 veterinarians, 80 warrant officers, and 1800 enlisted soldiers in both the active duty and in the Army Reserves. The Chief of the Veterinary Corps is a Brigadier General. The Veterinary Service employs an additional 400 civilians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I have a retired Military Working Dog (e.g. Military Police K9) at home. He is a German Shephard, and was born in Germany, bred specifically to be a police dog. He has a German passport and everything. And yes, he is a retired SGT. He was retired a little early due to a knee injury. Now he is 11 years old and I can see the rainbow bridge closer than I'd like to admit. Mrs. Cassidy and I have started talking about a good time to put him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
