    Air Force puts more bite in pet regulations

    Air Force puts more bite in pet regulations
    The list of blacklisted critters is long under the Air Force's new pet policy: arachnids; reptiles; rodents, except hamsters and guinea pigs; ferrets; hedgehogs; pot-bellied pigs; monkeys; skunks, raccoons; squirrels; farm animals; and five kinds of dogs — pit bulls, Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers, chows and wolf hybrids — as well as any dog that displays "aggressive or dominant behavior." Military dogs are allowed in base housing with the permission of the base commander.

    It's been like that on my base since I moved here in 2009. I'm glad I live off base.

    Why anyone would willingly subject themselves to the craziness of base housing beyond me. It's like the strictest HOA in existence.

    You have extra BAH? ....

    I'm not looking forward to the day that hubby might become a Wing Commander and we would be forced to live in base housing for the duration of the assignment.

    The one real upside to living on base though....you can set your AC/heater to your absolute favorite temps, even in the hottest or coldest times of the year, and not worry about outrageous utility bills.

    But seriously...for anyone keeping exotic pets...(or even an extremely UNexotic goofball of a doberman ) military housing must be avoided.

    There goes me living on base.
    Then I'm tiny like a door mouse
    Short like a bungalow house
    Minute like a pixie
    You can barely even see me

    I guess having a short commute is an advantage, but definitely not worth it with all their rules.

    I'm pretty happy living off base, I just feel bad for anyone forced to move into base housing.
