Sheep are sexy, especially sheep with a mission. Would have made a great mascot at the base, would have had a Caribou to match the planes, but a willing sheep would do.

In my story "Wolf in the City" I had a sheep in the army unit, a battle between the meat eaters and the "Grazers", he turned sides and fought with the wolves foxes and other predators, for years they were abused and not allowed to breed, they rebelled, but later joined forces, The sheep was of course Gay, all sheep are.
