Jasper Had To Go Outside!

The Dude (not in) Cammies had to bring all his gear inside so he could do the ‘home from deployment ritual’ of going thru everything that made it home with him and matching those items with the inventory sheet of everything Supply issued out to him to take to the Battlefields.  The best way to do this is to FIRST, spread it all over the living room floor.  Well, Jasper was NOT happy with this at all!  The poor dog began to get VERY agitated and I think might have been on the verge of a Panic Attack! We had to put him outside…..he was just going a little crazy!!! Next, The Dude calls out an item on the list and the boys find it.  This is everything from magazine holders to grenade things to flashlights!  Yes, our kids are quite good at this kind of thing, like all good Military Brats are!  Thank goodness the weapons are turned in prior to us even picking him up! Ed makes sure it matches up and then the kids move the item to a new pile in the hall.  We eventually end up with a giant mountain of gear! Then it is all miraculously stuffed back into a pack and bag! Again, it has been another Deployment Inventory where everything is accounted for! He knew he was missing a shirt when he got home and so he ordered one online as they are not available to purchase around here and that was able to be put in the mountain of gear prior to being stuffed back in a pack! After everything was packed back up and sitting by the kitchen waiting to be loaded in the jeep in the morning Tank came sauntering in and jumped on the pack and bag. Um, yep, Tank was taken off the gear and Ed immediately put everything in the garage! Tank is NOTORIOUS for spraying The dude in Cammies packs. I think it is his way of saying “I don’t want you to go, but if you must, well your gear is safe from anyone coming near it!!!”
