 For many sailors, retirement is a bittersweet time to reflect on their careers and look forward to the future. This chief, however, is just looking forward to a few extra treats and a nap on the couch. I'm M.A.2 Wooster. This is M.W.D. Kappa. He is about 10. I'm a working dog handler here and I've been assigned to Kappa for just a little over two years. Kappa himself may not understand the significance of today, but he sure seems excited to enjoy the perks of civilian life. The question that's always on a sailor's mind when they're retiring is, what's next? Well, Chief Kappa will be adopted by none other than Petty Officer Wooster. It's pretty awesome. Giving him the opportunity to come home and chill on my couch and get a couple extra treats is really, really special and important to us. Getting to take your dog home is a really big deal.
