Corporal Andrew J. Markham, this is my notes I work in dog bandit. He is trained in patrol and explosive detection. I've had him for about a year and a half, been trained with him for about a year before we deployed to Afghanistan. We have plenty of time to get comfortable and know each other before we went into combat. When we went to Afghanistan, we deployed the end of last year in 2010. Being out in the public like this with the dogs, obviously especially in the city everybody hears a dog bark and they want to know what the heck is going on. Being able to show off our dog, capabilities, what they do, what we do. We get big crowds and it is a blast.
