Our dog handler is behind me. He was a nice guy. His dog Ready was mean as hell! I'm sorry that I don't remember this Marines name I really liked him. He will have been attached to us from the 3rd Military Police Battalion War Dog Platoon. These dogs and their handlers are assigned to Provisional Rifle Company on a rotational basis and are used in night ambush sites and day patrols. They where a real asset to our squad.

This is our swimming whole. Notice the Colt 45 I'm caring. My M-79 and gear is just to my right. This looks like one of our 4 man fire team patrols. The dog handler may be new. He's sunburned. I guess back home they would call this spring brake.
