The squadron duty officer had the privilege of receiving a phone call last night from Commander Matt “POJO” Dominick (a former Pukin’ Dog) while in orbit. He proceeded to email us a picture of some squadron patches floating aboard the ISS. So incredible! Once a Pukin’ dog, always a Pukin’ Dog! Thanks POJO! Your actions are inspirational and impact squadron motivation and morale!
