My first MOS was 89D (EOD) but I failed out of that AIT on week 16. What a nightmare that was. I literally got to a point that I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing and couldn’t “disarm” Russian explosives.

Dude thank God. I didn’t ever even imagine volunteering for EOD. Did you become needs of the army and they made you a tanker?

Yes. They gave me a list of 20 or so jobs, and to pick 6. So I picked 6 that I thought would be good.
-surgeons assistant
- 11B cause fuck yeah
-healthcare specialist
- few other jobs that were medical type.

tanker wasn’t even an option. So I’m pretty sure they put my wishlist on a dart board and threw it at an MOS LOL.

they said I could be a tanker or CBRN. Fuck CBRN. Ilearned too much about that mess at EOD school lol

But I like what I do now. Firefighting is Easy. Only work 2-3 days a week (24 hrs a shift) unless I have to work a double.

sucks not being home when I have to work, but I get paid to be on this forum, and BS unless there is a fire or something.

Oh, I mentioned it before that I did wildland firefighting in WA state for a season in 2016, you don’t have to shave out there. Some old photos I found. Far left in both these photos.
