If your dog (or cat if you are a cat person) were to enlist or be commissioned, what military occupational specialty best suits them?

As an aside, what would be their first duty station?

Standard Poodle - Bearded Collie mix, litter mates (My really good herding dogs)
#1 Over enthusiastic 2ndLt Infantry Rifle PltLdr (gets the goats moving)
#2 Seasoned, seen it all, Marine Corps CWO5,Infantry Weapons Specialist (gets the goats headed in the right direction with just a look.)
Beagle Basset Mix (Wife's dog)
Retired Sergeant Major - MOS irrelevant (He watches all, and shakes his head in disgust at #1 A LOT.)
Cat
Through an administrative error, this cat is going to be around for the foreseeable future after being released from the brig with a BCD.

My dog, Golden Retriever would have to be a Butter bar in a line unit ... always excited and never where I need him to be ... wondering somewhere looking for greatness!

Cat - pure business and hates BS - mixed bread tuxedo cat - would have to be SFC Drill Instructor - she runs the entire house, waking us up at all hours for nothing but her amusement and making sure we are up at 0500 everyday for chow (her chow)... and don't even think about getting close enough to touch her, or even making eye contact ... I think she knows I am writing this ... I'll start pushing now....

LOL

Yellow Lab. He'd be a sleep specialist with multiple daily group therapy sessions.

My dog Jasper would be an Infantry Drill Sergeant based on how much he barks at his son Cartman every day. His first duty station would be the living room couch.
