Craig Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Myself and a collegue in front of the Guards Memorial prior to The Royal Marines "Beating the Retreat". We don't look as smart nowadays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Great pic. Nice dogs. What are they called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 The black dog on the left is my retired bitch "Megan" nearly died on Xmas day but pulled through in the end. Thank God she was insured £1,800. Dog on the right is called "Fagan" and is due for retirement this year. Both are German Shepherds. It was a very nice day espically as the other handler is an ex booty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Craig - when you say ' we don't look as smart now ' - is that because you have to wear those awful yellow jackets ? Surely they would get in the way if you were chasing someone - or, do you leave that to the dog these days ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Mervyn, We have to wear what the Dog Section would call Training blues. A horrible dark blue shirt and trousers. It comes about from when we are employed on Firearm operations and wear the same as our armed collegues. I guess it makes us less of a target. It does have the benefit of not showing up the mud when we have been searching the usual dumps where our little miscreants tend to hide.
