Shakey the Pig is the mascot of the 36th Munitions Squadron. Just within the gate of the bomb dump of Andersen AFB, a pig poke contains a living, wild boar that has become the bomb dump's "official" pet. Shakey has a "pig house" in the shape of a munitions igloo, as well as a small pond. Shakey has gone through numerous "upgrades"- as one pig dies, another wild boar piglet is caught in the wilds of the bomb dump's jungle and adopted as the next "Shakey". As of November 2006 the bomb dump at Andersen AFB was on version "Shakey the 8th."
