Our guest for this episode is a Marine Corps Veteran who was part of the early generation of Military Working Dog (MWD) handlers to attend a newly developed Specialized Search Dog (SSD) course at Lackland Air Force Base. During this time, the SSD was a new MWD type designed to provide an off-leash explosive detection capability. Upon graduation, this new SSD Team left Lackland and checked into his first unit with SSD Shadow K371. He was assigned to Military Police Support Company, 2nd Marine Headquarters Group(MHG), 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force (II MEF) in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
In this episode, we discuss his journey in the Marine Corps as an SSD handler working alongside SSD Shadow in Iraq and Afghanistan.
