The first time I was under CE was when I was at Eielson in 1987. Nothing changed, just a different boss.

My first reenlistment bonus as an EOD tech was just over 5 grand. Big money back in 1972 for an E-5.

On a serious note, would being an EOD tech help with getting a job on a police SWAT team? ------------------------------------- DJT & MTG in 2024!

I have no idea. When I retired, I was approached about doing explosive cleanup work in Kuwait, but I chose to go into full time beaver work. I think my choice was more funner.
