 EOD units throughout the Navy have one very important mission. The combat improvised explosive devices wrote as EOD team traveled to the counter improvised explosive devices center of excellence to take part in a unique multinational course. My team is a mix of experience at this point. Some of us have done post-blast, some of us haven't. So it's a great opportunity to actually practice it for those who haven't done one yet and for those of us that have, it's a great opportunity to teach the younger ones. The course also provided EOD Mobile Unit 8 the opportunity to work with service members from 10 European countries to combine their knowledge and experience. Oh yeah, no it's fantastic and sharing that knowledge is just, it's immensely valuable you know. Every nation has their own way of doing things and a lot of people, a lot of nations are very trained at similar levels but it's always something to be learned from every nation.
