Very few people get K9 out of "A" school, but it does happen. If there are openings they'll interview you. Don't get bummed if you aren't picked up right away.

If your first command has a kennel the way to get K9 is to get 100% qualed up on your regular job and do kennel support on your off time. Complete the quals on that side and you may be recommended for K9 "C" school.

K9 is a subjective, tricky thing to get. Right place, right time, right people.

Im at MA A School right now, and from what i have seen, there are usually a couple spots for Military Working Dog in each class, but to even be considered for an interview, you need to score an excellent or higher on your initial PRT when you arrive here. Not many students do that, so i you can, the chances of getting chosen for MWD are pretty high, as long as you don't express any interest in PRP beforehand, as volunteering to be screened for PRP automatially disqualifies you from MWD.
