All K9 handlers in Batt are 11 series dudes.Anyone ever heard of 31k getting an option 40 or if that is one of the MOS that they take?
Sorry if this question has ever been answered i searched but am new and couldn't find anything.
No they go to the K9 platoon after being on the line for a while, usually through TL time.So like a collateral duty then?

You don’t even need to be thinking about that now. Getting here, getting a tab, and then spending a few years here all comes first. Fortunately for Regiment (but unfortunately for me) they are tightening up who gets sent to specialty Platoons now. No more squared E4s sneaking in or shitbag E4s and 5s getting sent to them because their company didn’t want them. Dog specifically wants guys with Alpha team leader creds who can brief an OPORD like a pro and carry themselves in a joint environment accordingly. 2/75 already had a “selection” of sorts for guys going to SNOT, K9, etc. I don’t know about what 3/75 does but 1/75 is starting to do what Fat Batt has been doing. Not trying to shoot you down, just need to manage your expectations. You want to be a dog handler out the gate, go big Army and do that. My best friends younger brother does that and gets treated like a king with TDY and getting to do Presidential security details. Not a bad life.Thank you. Was wondering how that works. I have a K9 at home so thats something that would really interest me. Getting to handle one in the SOF area.

I appreciate your input. All that dog handler stuff can wait, you're right I am thinking too far ahead. One thing at a time.You don’t even need to be thinking about that now.
