MOS info (done the right way this time)

[2young2DepIn]

Ok, so again I was just wondering if I could get any information because im wondering about the MOS choices and to see what you guys think about the decisions I may want to do. I want to start off with 4 years of Combat Vehicle Repair and after that I was just wondering if the USMC has a dog training type MOS like attack dog training. Just wondering, so if there is any information please I would like to know. Thanks.

There are working dogs in the Marine Corps, but I don't know that repairing vehicles is a good way to get to the dogs. I would look into being an MP if I wanted to deal with the dogs.
