<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Last deployment, there were a few stray dogs that would visit the FOB. There were a couple bitches that took up residence when some of the Soldiers started informally adopting them, even had some puppies. Then one of the 1SGs decided to start enforcing regs...<br />Some not so happy campers by the time he started cleaning his 9mm.
