gonetoearth 5,144 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 That's correct mate ... As a junior rank you couldn't keep a dog if you were living in single accommodation .. When you get to the ranks of senior nco you can keep a dog in themes accommodation ... However I was married before joining the army so lived in married quarters ... When I was away on exercise or courses or tours then the missus, kids, parents hunting mates looked after the dogs and ferrets ........ Fair doos, I seriously considered Sandhurst when leaving Uni but thought it would mean having to pretty much give up any dreams of living a reasonable hunting life for at least 10-15 years. What you said then made me wonder if I had made the right choice. you kidding they have their own pack of beagles And a rough shoot surrounded by some the best country or do you mean on. Passing and being deployed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean when I graduated I could'nt think of any job I would enjoy other than soldiering but I couldn't see how I could have working dogs and shoot etc while serving my years. So I just wipped the idea and looked for a career in the defence industry instead but ended up in the oil industry. If i thought I could have joined up and kept a couple of lurchers and had time to work them then tbh I would almost certainly have applied. Too late now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers for that mate, always wondered what the army boys done cos there are a few on here. It's not an ideal set up when you could be away 6 months at a time especially with lurchers. Bonding plays a big part in hunting as you know, it couldn't have been easy that's for sure especially if you've got a pup. Plus you can't exactly pick which months your away, you could miss an entire season on one trip. Just need to make do I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
