Into the Jungle with the Marine Corps Bomb Squad (EOD)

The U.S. Marines are playing by different rules called EABO, to be faster and more lethal. Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Marines experiment to find out how to operate their particular skillset in a vast and hostile environment

Retired Navy EOD here (LDO). Training Officer at NAVSCOLEOD Indianhead MD 1993-1996.
The one thing I admired about USMC EOD was all their officers were former Enlisted. No straight out of college boys.
HOO-YAH & Semper Fi Marines!

Remember, Marine Corps EOD isn't an enlistment option. You screen as a CPL., so if you want to do this, as a Marine, the MOS you want is Aviation Ordnance or Ground Ordnance. That will give 3 or 4 years of being around explosives and in the pubs so you have an advantage.
Don't wanna wait, the other services I believe offer EOD as an enlistment option.
It's an amazing community, you won't be disappointed.

How would I make a lateral move to EOD as someone who works in intel? And If I've enlisted in intel would that help?
Just asking because I think EOD is something I'd want to do in the future.

@@nulolove If you're in the Marine Corps, talk to the Career Planner. There is an interview process, you can OJT, and then school.

Retired Army EOD here (Sr. NCO) who worked closely with the USMC EOD Team in 1993/Mogadishu Somalia before the 10th Mountain came in full force. Doing the door-kicking missions to take out the weapon caches from the warlords kicked our @sses; but they were organised, disciplined, and when you needed extra support it was there. Both hard times and good times,.. none of us wanted the MEU to leave when 10th Mtn arrived.
