I started as an entry-level EOD technician in the U.S. Army. Working my way up through 2 deployments, and several TDY missions. I was responsible for multi-millions of dollars of equipment; the security of which, was never broken. I was responsable for the dis-arming of over 300 IED is Iraq and Afghanistan. The destruction of hundreds of tons of abandoned ordnance, and the development of new tactics, when new threats were encountered; My primary focus was in improvised weapons and chemicas.
