EOD - Explosive Ordnance Disposal in Iraq

[rockman0809]

I like the goofy/genius/evil laughs in the background.

[lmos26]

3..2..1! *click* BOOM!

[TaskrHD]

does eod get into alot of combat?

[SilenceSlayer224]

@TaskrHD ... yeah. They do a lot of deployments (usually 6 months on, 2 off) and have a casualty rate of twice that of infantry in any branch. The job is dangerous, but rewarding. IED's kill more soldiers than everything else combined and it's our job to make them safe.

[ptshreck]

mało :) . a tak naprawe to prześlicznie !

[bombercat123]

does explosive Ordnance Disposal  Apprentice do stuff like this?

[mxndman0509]

@bombercat123 yes however you wont be doing alot of bomb suit stuff until you reach at least skill level 5.

[yooper2]

@bombercat123 yes that is the job. on rare occasions you may be called to disarm a bomb but it is mostly drop a charge and blow it ot hell.

[SilenceSlayer224]

@yooper2 People don't seem to understand that it's not a matter of which wire to cut it's a matter of how much C-4 to use on it.

[yooper2]

@SilenceSlayer224 exactly, what branch are you?

[SilenceSlayer224]

@yooper2 Army 89d

[benjsy]

@SilenceSlayer224

or if its a built up area they use pressured water to disable the circuit, or use a very small amount of pe4

[bombercat123]

what the fuck did you blow up on the second one?

[str8tkillas]

@bombercat123 most likely enemy munitions  thats what EOD does :P

[ViewerBee79]

Lots of kickouts. Must be army EOD.

[mv4eva]

the shockwaves are soooo cool

[KarlFrederick19]

:20 that was epic

[nickstaal123]

happy 4th

[awsomeness20]

I was wondering, depending on your job is it harder to go up in rank? I mean for enlisted if I choose this would I be less likely to go up in rank then say if I go something else? I dont want to be e-3 the 38 years Im in there

[guy197714]

You have to test for rank, so it depends on how well you do. You should automatically make it to E-4 after a certain amount of time, but you have to test for E-5.

[BornInTheCreek]

saper anyone? lol well thats one way to get rid of excess shells

[redwingsboy94]

is this a good paying job in the air force?

[Viking445]

The base pay depends on your rank in any service but the EOD guys get special pay added onto there base pay.  Plus the signing bonus and re up bonus' aren't all that bad. lol

[lukejaywalker777]

Wait, they *get* paid to do this stuff?

[Viking445]

Ummm ya. Its just like any other job. They just get to blow shit up for a living. Well that and disarm IEDs on the side of the road in 130F heat.

[chillVibes]

hahaha.... 0:32 holy shit is right....."Get inside Bill.......yeah."

[AlexIsUber]

gotta love watching those shock waves

[d2001griffiths]

[guy197714]

[d2001griffiths]

[DeviantxRaven]

[praetorian2150]

[AirpowerAirforce]

[spellkitty290]

because the thermodynamics of the explosions. It is not that uncommon for explosions to look like that especially liquid explosive's

[grayhoundz80]

EOD are nerves of steel individual... if you are an EOD.,. you are in the best weapon for mass destruction... _

[lfstweak420]

Woah 2:22 you can hear the fragments falling near the cam... That's scary.

[alonelychild]

[usmcdodge56]

If you want to see a total goatrope of an EOD, just type in "Okinawa EOD" in the search bar of youtube. it will be the first video that pops up. Anyone know what the hell this guy was thinking?

[yoyoofloco]

In EOD, the trick is to stop things from blowing up. You are only seeing the fun part.

[TimmayTheTurtle]

fucking awesome

[tylerpharaoh1989]

good thing no one was driving by, and were exploded before anyone got hurt by them

[RollingThunderHorse]

Awesome! This must be the fun part of being in Iraq, getting to blow shit up!

[yoyoofloco]

Sorry Bubba, but the job of EOD is stopping things from blowing up. All of those are controlled explosions after the munitions have been recovered. One advantage of being in EOD is you don't have to worry about getting wounded or chewed out if you screw up.

[RollingThunderHorse]

yoyoofloco, I understand that this was a controlled explosion. I didn't mean to make light of the terrible deaths and injuries caused by the weapons or munitions as you call them that do not get recovered before they are used. I just thought that this video looked cool and it shows that you guys are doing a great job of confiscating these weapons so that they can be blown up and not used against our troops. I hope that clarifies what I meant. And I'm a chick not a bubba.

[yoyoofloco]

Well, OK, there are a lot of women in EOD now and they seem to be doing a pretty good job. And trust me, it is a lot more fun blowing things us instead of trying to stop it. If you are young enough, give it a shot. I was in from 66 til 88. Got to do it in the States, Vietnam and Korea. EOD also stands for Every One Drinks which is even more fun.
