Our guest for this episode is a Soldier who served as a 31K, Military Working Dog (MWD) Handler in the U.S Army. He enlisted in 2015 and was stationed at Fort Drum after completing Basic Combat Training (BCT), and the Military Working Dog Handler Course at Lackland AFB. During his assignment at Fort Drum, he was assigned to Alex3 T365. Together they were certified as an MWD Team and supported numerous Secret Service missions around the United States. In 2018, he attended pre-deployment training at the USMC Military Working Team Deployment Training Course in Yuma, AZ at the U.S Army’s Yuma Proving Ground. Shortly after, this team deployed to Afghanistan, and while supporting coalition forces, he and his MWD Alex3 were wounded in action. In this episode, we discuss his time as a 31K MWD Handler, his deployment to Afghanistan, post-deployment experiences, and transitioning out of the military.
