YUMA, Ariz. — Aster, a 1-year-old long-haired Labrador Chesapeake, had an upset stomach and threw up in the examining room of the Yuma Proving Ground’s veterinarian clinic.
The dog is one of several dozens that just arrived from Indiana, where they embarked on a military working dog training program. At YPG’s Mine Detection School, the dogs will train in detecting explosives in buildings, vehicles, buried in the roadway or somewhere in the field, probably in Afghanistan.

I'd like to know what has happened to the military dogs sent to Iraq.
Are they being transferred, brought home or just discarded as has been done in the past?What Happens To The War Dogs When The War Ends?
Nearly 4,000 dogs served with the US military in Vietnam and saved up to 10,000 American servicemen through their scouting and sentry duties. When withdrawing from Vietnam in 1973, the military classified the dogs as surplus equipment to be left behind during evacuation.
Many dogs were left with South Vietnamese allies who were afraid of the dogs and didn't know how to handle them. Many of the dogs were euthanized, and many more perished at the hands of their inexperienced South Vietnamese handlers. Only a handful of Vietnam war dogs made it back to the United States.
Roughly 280 War Dogs got out of Vietnam alive (via the quarantine program) and reassigned to other U.S. military installations in different parts of the world. Despite their handlers pleading requests to ship them home.
Many handlers and trainers who worked with these dogs were traumatized by having to leave their faithful companions behind, stating that the dogs saved their lives and often did more work than they did.

Hey Aster, you don’t EAT the bomb....
They will have a right to cats!
But after eating he still releases a big stink bomb. lol
A big shout out to YPG. As unique an Army post as any... (WAY off topic) what’s the name of the bar off post which pays homage to mammary glands of the feminine persuasion?
Disclaimer: Ya’ haf to go there (or have been there) to understand the line of questioning, without having your hackles raised to their fullest extent.
they have a Hooters there?
>>>they have a Hooters there?<<<
nah... long ago (1984) a bar on 95 (northeast and past Yuma proper) adorned practically all of their walls with impromptu pictures of feline patrons proudly displaying their God given ta-tas. Truly a sight to behold!
Pechugas?
>>>Pechugas?<<<
It was 1984... and just a single visit was made to the place by me and my ‘team mates’ so the name is a blank. The wall decor was unique as heck. Impromptu photos of topless customers adorned nearly every square inch of wall surface in the place. Seems like the bar/restaurant was located in the middle of nowhere.
No idea. I was at Yuma Test site visiting because my gramps was a doc during his last posting in 1960 and I was trying to trace how he died and the VA paid out so much to us. Seems they didn’t use the lead shields( for gamma ray deflection) at all as they do today. I was just drifting around Yuma base when I saw a small boobie bar called Pechugas. This was 1995? 96? So I’m not sure. I didn’t go in it was the name that made me laugh. I’m sure there’s someone that was posted there that can tell you. Sure was hot. I was taking in the spring training games and detoured and Yuma was about 105 in March.
