@Katsujosh Navy EOD is the best EOD of all the branches. Mainly because of their mission. All EOD techs receive pretty much the same EOD training. However, in addition to that, Navy EOD are also trained in parachuting, diving, tactics, etc. so that they can be attached to special forces teams. This is an ability that is not taught to other EOD techs outside of the Navy.
Guys, don't forget that even if you have the physical and mental attributes if you don't qualify to obtain a secret clearance it wont be available to you.
60% of our EOD techs work with SEALs and other special forces from other branches. They are trained to operate in the same environment and pretty much have balls of steel. Within the EOD community there are two different personality types from what I've noticed....techs and operators. Techs focus on the bomb disposal part of the job more then anything and those that think of themselves as operators are the pseudo frogs, more concerned with fast roping, jumping and so on. Good mix is the key.
@doctorbasslayer EOD are special operation warriors. You don't just become an EOD to do SEALs later. If you want to be a SEAL, nut up and do that. They are both extremely hard, and currently as it stands, EOD has a higher attrition rate than SEALs, so I'd be pretty fucking careful before you go around thinking you'll just do both. The Navy isn't going to spend 80 grand on you to become an EOD Tech just so you can go to BUD/S. EOD are smart, tough motherfuckers.
@pegasus619 Marines have EOD as does army, air force and as you can see Navy. But navy eod rolls with everyone but it depends on the orders. Ive worked with rangers, force recon, and some seal teams. The most fun I had was with rangers though haha
@doctorbasslayer EODs get deployed with SEALS fairly frequently but, no they're not the same. It's an entirely different training. NAVY EODs are the ONLY EOD techs that get deployed with special forces and are trained in parachute, small tactical units and diving maneuvers. Hope i'm not stepping on anyone else's pride here but NAVY has the best EODs in the world, bar none. Saw someone commenting earlier that not all NAVY EODs get parachute training, that's false. HALO, not all get to do.
EOD troops remind me of the firefighters running into buildings. While everybody else stays away from the bombs, They Go In! As a soldier and veteran of the Iraq war, I'm a big fan of EOD troops. Unfortunately, I witnessed a Navy EOD sailor get killed by a secondary device. What these men and women do is amazing!
im in the delayed entry program right now, i ship august 16th 2011. my contract was for a corpsman, im considering switching to eod. my ultimate goal is to become a seal. anyone have any pointers and on which is a better path to seals? corpsman or eod?
A 'little' workout is an understatement (to an average person). And don't forget, you have to be smart, AND really want to do this job to make it through.
thanks for posting this man! I've watched it several times on the military channel but was unable to find it...What's the name of this when put onto the military channel? I want to buy the dvd.
@sergaiey as long as you can medically dive, and dont mind a little workout, you should be good. Its not like BUD/S or SWCC where you have to have a warfighter mentality.
If your worried about the washout rate, you probably shouldn't get into Navy EOD. If you fail school, they probably place your ASS on a ship and you could be on the boarding team that investigates suspicious vessels.
@iRSigma the other branches do go to the same school, but they don't go to the underwater portion of the school and they don't get all the other advanced training we get after.
@mastablasta24 the same engineers that will send a slick bomb downrange with a gerber and instruct him to flip the striker on a deployed hand granade back and then remove the fuze in a wide open field well suited for a BIP?
@Oxstayne Im no EOD tech but i think that if those SF teams need an explosives expert they get navy EODs because they are basically special forces trained eith parachuting and water insertion, I read in a book involving SEALs they had an EOD tech on a couple of missions except that the tech nearly killed all of them but oh well
If you are a SEAL and know more than the designer of a Nuclear weapon and can Disarm it/Render safe....then I bow to you. Otherwrwise STFU and clear the path to the Nuke. We'll buy you around after.
Because almost all the time they deploy w/ special forces. Just think of the army's 160th SOAR (aviation). They are part of special forces. It's all about who you detach with.
I dont think that Navy EOD deploy w/ army because army has their own EOD unit. But im sure their are some EOD techs in the army that are selected to detached during some army spec ops.
But no, the army doesnt put EOD in the SF community. Navy does because they train their EOD techs to deploy mainly with SF.
@chuckmetzy The Navy EOD techs do work with army more often than you would think actually. Army EOD doesnt have many of the skills that the navy EOD techs have, and army EOD is not a part of the special operations community. I know im a little biased, but its pretty common knowledge that the Navy has the best EOD technicians out of all the branches, and were the only ones that DO fall under the special warfare community.
@eodtech89 I am in the (ARMY) SOF community and I can tell you that the NAVY has the best EOD hands down. The training they get far surpasses any training of the other brances EOD technicians. I know for a fact that they are in far better physical shape then our ARMY EOD guys too. I like that the NAVY EOD techs are in fact a part of SPECWAR...NSDQ!!!
@chuckmetzy Navy techs deploy or get attached to army units quiet frequently (SF, OGA, CAC). Not to brag on sailors, but ive heard all too many stories about army units kicking their own EOD teams off and requesting navy techs because of their advanced training and operating methods
Because almost all the time they deploy w/ special forces. Just think of the army's 160th SOAR (aviation). They are part of special forces. It's all about who you detach with.
@650Bucky The only difference between Navy EOD's and everyone else is Navy are Special Operations and they deal with explosives in the water. Every EOD gets the same training at the same base on how to do the same job. No branch of the military is better than another, each branch specializes in different things. That would be like saying a pilot isn't a good pilot because he's a sailor and not an airman.
@SilenceSlayer224 Actually Navy EOD Techs go through a lot more training after the initial EOD school that the other branches' EOD communities don't go through. Navy has additional navy-specific EOD training (like mines, torpedoes, etc.), nuclear weapons school, and then things like Airborne school, dive school, and HALO/HAHO training. The other EOD programs just go through the basic 9 month EOD school.
@zidane2190 That's not true. Navy does a couple of weeks of training before and after training, but HALO is just a school. Not all Navy EOD's go to jump school. As far as nuclear weapons that is one of the 5 responsibilities for all EODs. Land, Air, Underwater, WMD, IED. The only extra training that Navy really gets is dive training. The Navy takes presidence over explosives in the water, that's it.
@SilenceSlayer224 Wrong. Have you even looked at the training pipe line that the Navy has on their website? All Navy EOD techs are dive, jump, helicopter insertion, and small unit tactics qualified (among many other things). There's a reason the Navy has the only EOD techs that are part of the SW/SO communities.
@SilenceSlayer224 From someone who has been around the Navy EOD community for a very long time and is about to leave to become a Navy EOD tech, I can very much assure you that every Navy EOD tech goes to airborne school. HALO, on the other hand, you are correct, it is not a requirement, but most EOD techs end up doing it anyways.
EOD school is at eglin airforce base in florida and its the only combined services school NAVY ARMY AIRFORCE AND MARINE eod students all go there. So the marine training is the same! ha ha ha!
Actually, there are boatloads of combined service schools all over DOD. I do not understand why you think Marine EOD training with everyone else is supposed to bother me.
Funny cause I've been to SERE school in maine. I was thinking eod was the only school all services used for MOS training. I was told this by some eod dude we were flying. SERE school isnt specific to a rating or mos so i guess thats why they say its the only joint school.
I see why they feel that way but I recognize joint schools as those in which servicemen from all branches attend for specific training. Then again, I'm no EOD. 3-75 HOOAH!!!!
No... they have a couple different sites for SERE school. Air Force has one for pilots and special operators and the Navy and Marine Corps got a couple sites I think.
where in amine,? im from there and i had no idea they had it, my dad was stationed at nas Brunswick and Portsmouth and he said there's an eod unit but no training areas ive heard of
this vid says that there is no other eod unit that work with the SF but the brittish RE EOD GUY work very closely with the sas and sbs its just not talked about and all brittish eod have woman in there rANKS
What they mean is that these are the only Navy EOD guys that are commando's. They're trained in small unit tactics, shooting, HALO/HAHO, diving etc. The Aussies have a similar unit called the clearence divers, though they are more of a SEAL/EOD hybrid than a purely EOD type organization.
EOD specialists are the unsung heroes of the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan for every IED that goes off in the GWOT there are over 80 that are founded and defused.
These are some truely remarkable people who save many people from being killed and maimed each day.
this looks like painful fun, I'm going in as a CTR, so i'll be informing these guys about where they need to go, i wish i could do this stuff but i'm partially color blind so i couldn't do any SO :(
In EOD you are required to be US Citizen....if you are a legal resident in the US you can join the military and if you obtain your citizenship then apply for EOD which can be done anytime during your enlistment.
I was going EOD in the navy the school work drove me crazy, it is a special ops in the USN but there is a lot of boring shit so be prepared, lots of risks you can die training, a heli can crash and cut you into pieces while repelling, you can have esd go off while practicing and you die you can die when your parachute doesn't open at fort benning which you do go there even though you are navy trust me I did the shit.
They are referring to the bonus pays (Dive, Jump, EOD Propay). Which is actually about right. Actually, it may be a little high or low depending on what level tech you are.
they get a 40,000 dollar signing bonus plus 200 added onto the some 2000 they already make for being in the Navy. They should make it a little more clearer. By the way my recruiter says EOD makes alot more than 200 dollars
navy is considered to b the best out of them all w/ exception of the marine because they do inerting of explosives.

I was going EOD in the navy the school work drove me crazy, it is a special ops in the USN but there is a lot of boring shit so be prepared, lots of risks you can die training, a heli can crash and cut you into pieces while repelling, you can have esd go off while practicing and you die you can die when your parachute doesn't open at fort benning which you do go there even though you are navy trust me I did the shit.

They are referring to the bonus pays (Dive, Jump, EOD Propay). Which is actually about right. Actually, it may be a little high or low depending on what level tech you are.

they get a 40,000 dollar signing bonus plus 200 added onto the some 2000 they already make for being in the Navy. They should make it a little more clearer. By the way my recruiter says EOD makes alot more than 200 dollars
