Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal School

Nine months at Eglin AFB in the only joint-service explosive ordnance disposal school. You'll learn to disarm conventional ordnance, IEDs, nuclear devices, chemical weapons, and underwater mines — a sentence that sounds made up but isn't. The academic load is immense, the practical exercises use real inert ordnance, and the margin for error is exactly zero. EOD techs walk toward what everyone else runs from.
