Great story
"He got counseled three times," Dixon said.
He fell asleep on duty.
"He fell asleep -- not on duty, but at rehearsal," Dixon said.
"Exactly how do you counsel a dog?" Martin asked.
"Well, you bring him in, you sit him down face to face, Marine to Marine, commanding officer to Marine, and you tell him like it is," Dixon said.
How did he take to counseling?
"Not too good," Dixon said.
:haha:
Semper Fi Sarge!
Well Done
Don't you mean....SEMPER FIDO!Quote:

I'm sure his pension will be adequate for his needs the rest of his life. Wonder who the next one will be?
If I had stayed in the Corps, I would now be halfway to my 20 years and 10 years from retirement at the age of 40. As it stands, I could retire from my LE agency at 52 with 25 years on, even without purchasing my 5 years of military time.Quote:

Sounds like he got his retirement papers to me. His 49 years of service should be enough to get some decent treats. He'll be living the easy life. :palmier:Quote:
