Marines love Dogs. The USMC are the best fighting force devised by man but most of them have a real soft spot when it comes to our 4 legged friends.Case in point - A small puppy wandered up to U.S. Marines from Alpha Company, 1st Battalion 6th Marines, in Marjah, Afghanistan. After following the Marines numerous miles, a soft hearted Marine picked the puppy up and carried the puppy in his drop pouch.
I can understand and while it is against regulations for the Marine to have the puppy, Command turns a blind eye to this as at places like Marjah, having a dog there provides both security and something to give the Marines a touch of home.
Caring for a small pup gives each Marine in that Battalion something to warm their heart. To see the caring this pup will get shows that our Marines care for those who need them the most.
Semper Fidos to the U.S. Marines from Alpha Company, 1st Battalion 6th Marines, in Marjah, Afghanistan. Take care of that pup.
That reminds me of my deployment as a Marine fobbit. At Leatherneck they occasionally had stray cats roaming around. We noticed one near our tent, and finally figured out he was living in the wooden pallets that we set our tents on. It took a lot of feeding and patience, but we finally got him to trust us and he became our open secret of a mascot. What's even better is even though we were at double capacity we never had a vermin problem!
ReplyDeletei wonder what has happen to the pup since then.
