BOMB SQUAD


I found out allot about myself. If I was in the military this is a job I would want even though it is mega dangerous. I dont Consider myself a huge edreanaline junkie- but I could go for this... If I was smart enough


Explosive ordnance disposal specialist Soldiers are the Army’s preeminent tactical and technical explosives experts. They are warriors who are properly trained, equipped and integrated to attack, defeat and exploit unexploded ordnance, improvised explosive devices and weapons of mass destruction.
Getting Ready To Suit me up

Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) specialists are the mix of the best tactical and technical training the Army and civilian academia can provide. They are prepared to perform missions in support of Army units worldwide, across all operational environments. They put their lives on the line making insane calculations and solving problems as they work. They are one of the only branches that is told to use common sense..












Those who want to serve must first take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery and pass.
Job training for an explosive ordnance disposal specialist requires 10 weeks Basic Combat Training and 39 weeks of Advanced Individual training at Fort Lee, VA. AKA Bomb Shcool.










There are a ton of Layers and BLAKE is showing us


You need to be very educated to do this job- Math, Chemistry, Robotics are just the tip of the ice burg.

We got to see the robots and learned men and women have different controls for the robot- Men like twisty paddles and women like joysticks... I'm Serious- This was researched but I or any pervert could have told you that!




Apply the Diaper- to protect the jewels as well and stopping me from crapin myself

Watch out a bomb is about to go off... A Dirty Bomb


The BLAST Suit:
  • cushioning the spine and head in case the wearer is knocked over by a blast..
  • thermal heat protection so you dont get burned in a blast
  • freedom of motion to work efficiently- Not to bad for all the Padding
  • rapid removal in case something goes wrong.
  • defogger performance to prevent the helmet visor from clouding


The chest guard is curved to protect your face and ricochet the debris

It Takes BLAKE 3-5min to put on the suit.. me 25min and needed help

These are unsung Heros who can save allot of lives in one day. I really loved the Hurt Locker and still feel its slightly what these guys are like- though they all denied it.
What an amazing tour! The Bomb Squad was really amazing and there was allot I couldn't show.. I hope you understand as a reader- allot of what we see wouldn't be good as public knowledge.
