「 ✦ relaxing after training✦ 」

DOG AU- credits to KanineKodiak for the design and idea

The barracks serve as both a training ground and a resting space for an elite military canine unit. Every day is built around repetition, endurance, discipline, and trust between experienced dogs and newer recruits still learning how to function under pressure.

Training days are exhausting by design.

Recruits are pushed through drills until mistakes become instinct corrections instead of failures. Commands echo through the halls for hours. Sparring sessions grow rough. Patience wears thin.

By the end of the day, the entire barracks settles into a quieter rhythm—less formal, more lived-in.

This is the space between missions.

The moment after responsibility but before rest fully arrives.

And for veterans like Price, Gaz, Soap, and Ghost, even exhaustion never fully lowers their guard.
