    EOD is actually a pretty good deal once you're in.

    no claustrophobic tendencies????

    It getting late. I thought it said "no catastrophic tendencies" and I wondered how the military measures that or if it is something a person can put on the resume. In anycase I got a good laugh until I realized what was said.

    Yeah that would have taken me right out of the running there. I get cabin fever just sitting here in my house. I like open spaces. Closed-in spaces freak me out.

    EOD is a gravy job!

    I was not a Tech but I did work very closely with EOD as I drove truck for them specalizing in the transportation of Hazmat and Explosives.

    You have little to worry about.

    I love the EOD guys. It's because of them that I can blow stuff up. They're crazy.
    Sure, I mess with explosives (I'm a combat engineer) but I only mess with stuff I put together.
    They show up and have to deal with someone else's dud rounds.
