Using advanced tools like cutting-edge robotic technology and explosives chemistry, this elite group performs missions that require immense bravery-from jumping out of airplanes to blowing up underwater mines. This job is no cake walk-you have to be smart, tough, quick-thinking and cool under pressure-and you have to do it all in a 70-pound bomb suit. Enlisted Officer What to Expect Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician More Information Responsibilities As an EOD Tech, you'll receive extensive training to perform missions neutralizing explosive weapons in almost every environment.
