I just want a pup to take with me through the European countryside on long walks, or to get to know over the course of my career and grow up together with.
I have a mouse in my room too. He hangs out under my bed and in my closet. I let him be.
do you feed him cheese?
Do you have to clean up his poop?
what branch military bro?
I don't but I should start. I wish I could catch him and bathe him and train him as a pet but I don't think Mom would approve
He only poops along the walls so it's no bother. He did leave a bunch of seed shells in one of my shoes in my closet that I hadnt worn in a while though once.
Army. Best branch DESU senpai
My uncle told me when he was in Honduras, in army training, they were staying in some hotel.
Said he woke up during the night and in the dark, he could make out a medium sized shape rooting around in his room, and he turned the lights on and it was a rat.
Said initially he thought it might be a small dog at first but he saw the tail.
Chair Force here. Hope you have fun in Germany user, I heard its super nice
What do you do? I'm ADA which is about as close to AF as you can get.
Are you OCONUS?
You gotta give him a name
OP here
Just went around to get the other traps. They were loaded with peanut butter. He licked all but one clean. I'm not even mad that the traps didn't go off. I'm glad that he had a nice meal before he went.
Keep him safe user. Be the man I couldn't be.
Im a code monkey; CONUS; Ive been wanting an OCONUS station for the entire 6 years Ive been in; and yet the only stations Ive gotten have been OH and MD >_>
Whats ADA do?
Mice spread disease.
You did good work.
If you had a cat, it probably would have killed the mouse whether you wanted it to or not.
You think maybe he had kids around? Should lay some food out and see what happens?
Theater air defense. We're the bastard children of army combat arms. We live really good and have a very high quality of life relative to the other combat arms guys but we still deploy and do a shit load of field time so it's a mixed bag.
I'm an officer so my life is paperwork and supervision.
>I'm an officer
Hope everything works out for you, sir
Hope you posted that from the position of attention.
You too man. You should look into joining the dark side. It's nice over here.
>Hope you posted that from the position of attention
I did. Even put on my new OCPs for it.
I've thought about crossing over but once I get my degree Im pretty set on getting out
>>Going to graduate school and too busy for friends or a girlfriend

If they have time then you have time. Get better priorities and stop killing other living things retar
I get that. Keep an open mind though. Especially if the AF will send you while you're in. The benefits are nuts and you'll make so much fucking money having 6 years already.
