Animal Care Specialist

Dakato's had her benador right? So we're just gonna wait at least twenty minutes

Well if it's a clinic day it's just like any normal working veterinary hospital

Nurse: Since that's a controlled drug are you going to order it?

My job is I'm the NCOIC of my clinic. In the civilian world that would translate to practice manager. I manage the personnel civilian and military

It's a real delicate balance of being the best soldier your can be and being the best technician you can be and doing everything right by everybody.

Up good Up

I also work with military working dogs, there are 16 military working dogs stationed here at Marine Corp Base Hawaii

And that is our primary mission to maintain and readiness in case of deployment

Good seeks max there you go. Its not limping or?

Other: No I haven't noticed

I routinely get phone calls that this dog either has a bump or he has a cut or kind of walking a little funny not being the same so we'll get the dog in to be seen. When military working dogs require surgery I'm responsible for setting the surgery up and then during the surgery I monitor anesthesia. I'm responsible for equipment in the surgery room, blood pressure EKG so there's many different jobs that encompass one surgery

But my goal in life is to just be happy and right now I really couldn't think of anything that would make me happier than doing my job and doing it in the army because you get to do something you love and do it for your country
