This job looks like a freaking blast! Literally. I've already been in the Army. If I wasn't 54y/o I'd be calling a Navy recruiter.

My husband, James Michael Stallings, retired as a Navy Chief EOD out of Little Creek Navy Base back in 2003 - he has told me amazing stories about his work. He loved his work in the Navy. He must have been good at his job - he came out with all ten of his fingers and toes!

Do one on Navy PRT, where 10% of Sailors do their push ups correctly, yet everyone passes. These videos make it look like the Navy is hard when it’s not. There’s much fraud, waste, fatness. The finest, strongest men in the Navy want to be EOD or NSW because the everyday Navy is so weak and unsatisfactory.

[@johnneill5960]

Yeh stud , this is Navy EOD . Not the same . About a 90 percent washout rate . Obviously you know jack . School is over a year not counting jump school . Dive school is also a part of this . It's about 5 jobs all in one . This is one of the hardest schools there is in the military besides special ops .

[@LIamaLlama554]

[@1anre]

You’re jealous because they’re allowed to put on a beard and you can’t?

[@andrewcanady6644]

@ Roy Finneren: Roy, if you go to any location The Navy is doing a Physical Readiness Test, which they do twice a year all over the world, you’ll see young men and women that aren’t strong enough to perform one proper push-up. Not only that but they’ll be permitted to pass their Physical Readiness Test by their sorry leadership without having done one proper push up. Ask the strongest men and women you know that have been in The Navy and ask them if I’m lying here. I’m not. I spent 20 years in The Navy. I’ve been retired for 8 years. And because I live near a naval base I still observe Sailors doing PT all the time. Don’t get me wrong, some of them are incredibly strong and tough. But the fact is that the weak slackers are allowed to get away with cheating, and being fat & weak. They are also allowed to advance in rank along with the strong ones. What do you think this does to the morale of the strong ones? The ones you want to be in uniform and full of pride and zeal? The first step in correcting something is admitting there’s an issue, not pretending like the issue doesn’t exist. Aloha.

[@maxkol4380]

Is the eod mission generally more complicated than SEAL teams? Seems like it to me. BTW I'm very impressed with both.

[@Jay-kl8wn]

how complicated is each is very subjective and probably not worth much thought. EOD generally attaches to conventional or unconventional units and so the mission set can overlap. Both bad AF

[@maxkol4380]

@@Jay-kl8wn Yeah good points. EOD kind of remind me of PJ's. Long pipeline, primary and secondary mission, both are bad asses, and nobody outside of guys like us know or care who they are.

[@1anre]

They are not as fancily portrayed on Tv as the SEAL boys, so that in a huge way doesn’t give them the benefit of the doubt that they are actually doing the toughest most risky jobs.

Hey brother, you’re not failed if you’re trying again.
