Devotion In Triplicate, continued from page 62. Johnny’s new handler, Aaron Stice, came in to care for
Johnny.True to his reputation, Johnny became very aggressive and refused to accept his new handler. Cpl. Johnson, called from his sleeping area, had to make the introduction and help Aaron learn Johnny’s unique personality. The transition flowed more smoothly after that, and
Aaron took Johnny on his fifth combat deployment with the 1st Recon Marine Battalion to Afghanistan. They were again in Kandahar Province, this time in support of the 101st Airborne. Aaron and Johnny’s first
mission was scheduled to take 14 days; instead it took 57. That’s 57 days of being in the field, with no show- ers, hot food, cots or good sleep; with Johnny still find- ing IEDs, caches and keep- ing those following his footsteps safe. They spent a lot of
Sgt. Stice would call in the Explosive Ordinance Disposal
(EOD) whenever Johnny found something that would go boom! The first time the EOD guy blew up something that Johnny had found, Johnny tried to kill him. We don’t think Johnny studied Sir Isaac Newton’s Laws of Physics, but for every boom, there was an opposite and equal bite; sort of an Equilibrium Law of Ordinance Disposal. Stice got that reaction every time from Johnny, so he started to send him far, far away when the blast would happen. By the time he had gotten back to Stice, Johnny’s anger had sub- sided, at least a little bit. As dog fanciers know,
time in the area known as Trek Nawa, a volatile rela- tively lawless region just east of Helmand province’s Marjah district. With so many swampy areas, it was often referred to as Viet Nawa.
All three of Johnny’s handlers: Aaron Stice, Jason Harvey and Albert Johnson.
the word “stacked” means the way that dogs stand in the breed ring for the breed judges. In the world of military working dogs, the term “stacked” refers to something totally different: the campaign ribbons that would have been his, had
he been a human Marine instead of a K9 Marine.
We’ve all seen lifetime careers of military officers with a chest
full of ribbons. Johnny earned this “stack” of ribbons in the span of his eight years of active duty.
