Week 4 (Day 21): Meet Kevin, Unofficial OTS Mascot

What are you lookin' at?

After the initial shock to the system wore off, I began to notice my surroundings while being marched to and fro.  And the most peculiar thing I noticed about the OTS campus is this tiny chihuaha that is always around.  We march to breakfast and he’s near the DFAC (Dining Facility).  We march to the dorm and he’s near the basketball court we pass on the way there.  Always there, watching us with a funny look on his face.  He has no collar but he appears to be well fed and healthy.

We finally got some more information about him from one of the flight commanders.  He told us that the dog is named Kevin, that he’s been around the OTS campus for years, and that nobody has been able to catch him.  So they just put out food for him and let him wander around, the unofficial mascot of the Maxwell Air Force Base Officer Training School.
