After almost a decade I've finally finished my obligation to blow up stuff for Uncle Sam. This isn't GiP though, and so this thread is not going to be about my career. This thread is instead dedicated to the cool animals I've interacted with (and remembered to take photos of) throughout that time:  Absolutely the cutest lil' motherfucker I've ever had the pleasure to meet - a puppy belonging to a coworker in Alaska  I got to do a lot of dogsitting for friends when they had to travel. These guys got some pancakes because why not  Tiny babby kitten rescued by a coworker and brought to the shop  We would work with K9s from time-to-time and they were all very good pettable boys  Geckos rule and can be found all over Florida  Eastern Fence lizards too  tbh this dog kinda sucked and petting it would cause a track to fall off or a comms loss half the time  "Shop Mascots" (animals 'adopted' by a flight) were made verboten sometime before I arrived in Korea, but this little guy still got to hang around with Ammo under the requirement that he would travel with his caretaker when they outprocessed from the base  Another lizard - he refused to move despite us planting a breaching charge on the door he perched on  An extremely shy pup at a friend's party that nonetheless held still long enough for a photo in exchange for treats  Some kind of weird dog that was really difficult to pet  CORGS CORGS CORGS  Superfly is a stupid idiot cat that was abandoned when her former owners moved out of the apartment complex I lived in and I felt bad for her and took her in and then she immediately spawned five healthy idiot kittenspawn that I had to put up for adoption and the goober still lives with me to this day meowing incessantly and knocking poo poo down like a weirdo I hope you enjoyed these uncropped pictures of extremely normal animals; I'll upload more if there's a demand for it.

More working dogs, taken from a big ol' training event we helped out with: It was nigh-impossible to take a non-blurry photo of this guy  he wasn't actually that good at finding explosives but his heart was in the right place  this one loved running directly into tripwires and pressure plates (slight  ) This one's actually a medical training animatronic used for instances where said animals may be turned into hamburger meat by an IED - it could simulate various wounds and whined very loudly:

Oh drat, thanks for the stickythread! In the summer of 2019 some funny things happened in Korea and we got to wander around Seoul for a few days - dogs also helped in this endeavor  An incredibly-sweet tank of a dog that just wanted ear-scritchies 24/7 when he wasn't on the clock  NON-DOG BONUS: some interesting electrical infrastructure found in Thailand:

 I get to pet this lil psycho every day. Cuter pictures can be provided upon request, but this is my favorite! He was not howling, I taught him to smile when you present him treats, but he prefers being dramatic and clacking his teeth together instead.

Some dogsitting fellows from across the US: a powerful duo; would devour all your treats in an instant the second you looked away  quite possibly the scardiest scaredy cat of a boxer I ever had the pleasure of taking care of  a squishy baby, almost never barked  this dude was actually a bit of an rear end in a top hat and was aggressive towards cats And another MWD, Maximum Winner Doggo:

Last couple-o' dogs from the bottom of my photo archive: another weirdo dog - I don't see these getting into our career field anytime soon but it doesn't stop companies from trying to sell us on them  (he was given lots of pets)  Polymphemous moth I think - always remove wildlife from an area that you're gonna blow up   not a working dog but extremely pettable nonetheless  leopard gecko  always invest in Old Glory Robot Insurance  some kind of dog-shaped being of pure energy  old dogs best dogs That's pretty much it - thanks for joining me in this knockoff Critterquest: Hurt Locker Edition

The pure energy doggo is a cattle dog. Thats what mine is. Either sleeping or unlimited energy for the ball. Regularly spend more than 3 hours a day playing fetch on a flight of stairs. Like if you crossed a malinois with a shepard and made them only 45 pounds.

Are those military dogs Belgian Malinois? Where do they get them from, is there some sort of super-military-dog breeding facility somewhere just for them?

Haptical Sales Slut posted::3 Among other things, attachments are trickier to work with when the platform has legs and needs to maintain its balance. Arms/grippers shift your center of balance as you work and energetic tools have to be carefully aimed - all easier to do on a stable tracked platform than a robo-dog that has to either lie on the ground or shift its weight constantly to not topple over. Jose posted:how well adjusted are these bomb dogs like around kids In general, very well-disciplined. When on the job at community outreach events they act like kids and other distractions aren't there, and depending on the handler/dog they usually are very friendly (like with any working dog you ask the handler first before you approach them).
