Chesty (mascot)

Since then, the Marine Corps mascot at the Washington Barracks, their oldest post, have been named Chesty, with an incrementing Roman numeral.

[9] Training for Chesty includes standard dog command such as sitting when asked, and friendly interactions with parade crowds.

[11]Past dogs have included Chesty VI, who was demoted to private from private first class for "willfully… ripping and tearing up a everlast striking bag, of value of about $176.80, military property of the United States" and disobeying a direct order to stay away from the punching bag, and later received two weeks of extra duty for biting two corporals on the foot.

[13] Chesty XV had to be pardoned by the secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro at his retirement ceremony for misconduct like jumping on parade guests.

[14] On the other hand, his successor Chesty XVI was promoted to private first class by Del Toro, who cited his "nearly spotless record".
