Couldn't resist tying Shakespeare to that image

What percent of K-9s get duty in the sandbox?
Specialized service dogs are trained specially for military operations. They work to find firearms, ammunition and explosives during various missions. The dogs also point out people in hiding. These dogs have the ability to use their nose to find danger so their human counterparts can eradicate it before anyone gets injured or killed. There isn't a lot of room for mistakes in a job like this, but the dogs rarely make them. There are more that 100 dogs in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But what percent is that?

As rough as the training the dogs go through, which is 22 weeks of training, and a following month acclimating. They are seldom and aren't agitated under steady gunfire, nor do they get distracted by other wildlife. A rough 10 percent probably make it.

Dang RO, you have enough time to surf the web? Good find, I'm sure people are ordering them already. I mean Doggles? Great name.

Hey, it's Sunday, the basketball games are over, the RV is almost packed and rendered roadworthy for the trip north to snow country... what else is there to do?
Besides, if you look carefully at the pic, the word "Doggles" is right there on them... I can't believe that no one else looked.

Okay... if you're going to disrespect someone, at least use proper English (You're... meaning "you are" instead of the possessive "Your")
Especially when putting it on a fellow Arky.

If i as Navy enlisted, i'd either want to be a P-3 FE or an MA with working dog. Those animals are amazing. Absolutely fearless.
