I think it would be great to train a dog as a personal weapon

What I really enjoy is the group spirit. You're truly one team. There's a good, honest, and trusting atmosphere. I think that's because we have to help each other a lot and go the extra mile for each other.
I chose Ground Operations because I love being outdoors. I enjoy being in the woods and playing lots of sports. Ultimately, I want to become a dog handler in the Air Force. I think it would be fantastic to train a dog as a personal weapon.
The classes are incredibly diverse. The class includes VeVa students from various backgrounds. Sports subjects include running, military self-defense, swimming, and strength training. In buddy support, you learn what to do if your buddy gets injured.
Every month, we go on a five-day bivouac at the Ministry of Defence. This is essentially your internship with all the VeVa students from all over the Netherlands. After four bivouacs with all the airmen, we're now going exclusively with the ground personnel. This makes your internship even more specific.
