Hope you can stay in the States, but if you get stationed overseas there are lots of hoops to jump through with a dog. Took us about 2 months of guarantine, vet cks, paperwork, etc to get daughter's dog (non-pyr) out of Japan and back here. And REAL hard on the dog.
Yes, I said "daughter". My daughter was a Marine. And no, she wasn't in the typing pool (she told them she didn't know how to type) and no she wasn't in the band (she said she couldn't read music) (both lies,she didn't want a "weinie woman" job). She was the first woman to be accepted to, and then teach, electrical training at Camp LeJuene. Then she was the only WM in the platoon assigned to man the huge generators at Fatima Airbase on Okinawa. She endured horrible discrimination, but eventually won their respect. She's a tough little cookie and I feel she made a wider path for those who have followed her. Her commanding officer even visited her home a few years after discharge. She's now a fully qualified Master Electrician (like her father was). Not that I'm proud of her or anything, but she's a piece of work! Taught me every bad word I know :)
