 The Explosive Ornance Disposal Lateral Screener Test is used to evaluate active duty Marines applying for the 2336 EOD Technician MOS. The screener is a multi-stage process that tests the Marines physical and mental fortitude. These tests help determine whether the Marine is capable of the extreme pressure individuals face while actively disarming potentially lethal explosives. The battery of tests begins with the Marine Corps PFT. Physical fitness is a necessity for EOD technicians. The second test is a written exam, testing the Marines knowledge of various explosives and detonation devices as well as different types of ordnance used by the Marine Corps. The third test is a bombsuit drill, testing basic agility while wearing the 80-pound suit and the Marines ability to handle possible claustrophobia with the suit on. The fourth test is the Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test to ensure that all EOD technicians are prepared for the rigors of modern combat operations. The fifth and final test is an interview with current EOD personnel that tests everything from the Marines' psychology, bearing, and mindset to knowledge of EOD history.
