The Navy describes the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician as part of the Navy's elite bomb squad, trained to neutralize explosive weapons in almost every environment: detonating hazardous munitions, neutralizing sea mines and torpedoes, remotely disabling unsafe ordnance and supporting law enforcement agencies. Civilian employers call this explosives and ordnance disposal, which is why ordnance handling experts and safety specialists lead this page's matches.

A note from the founder

I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2001 to 2009 as a 2W0 Munitions Systems specialist and a C-130 Loadmaster. I served in the Air Force, not the Navy, so this page is built from O*NET and BLS data rather than my own memories. The problem is the same in every branch: your experience is valuable, and it has to be written in the civilian employer's language.
