Job Title: Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician

Join the US Navy as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician and embark on a challenging and rewarding career. As an EOD Technician, you will be responsible for detecting and disposing of explosive ordnance, including bombs, mines, and other hazardous devices.

Responsibilities:
  • Detonate and demolish hazardous munitions, pyrotechnics, and outdated explosives
  • Neutralize various ordnance, including sea mines, torpedoes, or depth charges
  • Work with cutting-edge technology to remotely disable unsafe ordnance
  • Perform parachute or helicopter insertion operations
  • Support law enforcement agencies
  • Clear waterways of mines in support of our ships and submarines
  • Lend your skills and support to other military units or offices, such as the U.S. Secret Service or the U.S. Department of State
Work Environment:

Your missions will take you to every corner of the world. One assignment may have you parachuting from 17,000 feet into enemy territory, while the next may deliver you stealthily to a foreign nation via an 11-foot RHIB boat. It all depends on which unit you're supporting and the type of mission to be completed.

Training & Advancement:

Upon completion of the initial 10-week training at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes (known as boot camp), you'll begin a specialized training program to prepare you for your career as an EOD Technician. The training pipeline includes:

  • EOD Assessment and Selection Course (four weeks)
  • Diver Training (seven weeks)
  • EOD School (44 weeks)
  • Basic Parachute Training (three weeks)
  • EOD Tactical Training (four weeks)

Upon successful completion of the EOD training pipeline, graduates are assigned to EOD mobile units where they gain advanced on-the-job training and experience as members of EOD platoons.

Qualifications & Requirements:

No college degree is required to apply for a position as an EOD Technician. However, training is tough and ongoing, and a high degree of difficulty should be expected. You can apply for the Navy Warrior Challenge contract for EOD Technicians at any time during your first enlistment.

Entry Requirements:

  • Eyesight 20/200 bilateral correctable to 20/25 with no color blindness
  • Minimum Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) score AR+VE=109, MC=51 or GS+MC+EI=169

  • Pull-ups: 6

Additional requirements specific to Active Duty EOD Technician candidates include:
