#Army mos 89d mod
MOD B (Writ/Prac): This starts to cover "demolition", explosives effects and classification. There are no re-dos, this is where you learn about the EOD max, get an 85% percent and move on. You will lose about half your class on this test. I believe you have 4 or 5 days to absorb an asinine amount of material on subjects you've never thought existed. Sorry, I'm not sorry, you all sound dumb as fuck. You'll hate your life and use the H-word like all the people in the Army I hate. If you do, you may fail and do you know what happens to people who fail? You get reclassed to a really shitty job 9/10 times. Also, very important- NEVER SECOND GUESS YOURSELF, EVER. Occupy yourself with school and PT, that's all that matters. I understand you're restricted to Ordnance Island (except for those over achievers who choose to become Phase 5) but seriously, don't do dumb shit. Stay awake in class, you will be dropped if you fall asleep.
#Army mos 89d full
You will get an IPad full of course material, use it. Of those 32, only 7 of us made it to Phase 2. You cannot live off post (unless you're an officer). Your spouse cannot move here (on the governments dime). ( 1 I am aware that the modules have been reorganized and course content has changed since I went through (JUN-JUL '13) but this should still be relevant information.) Attrition rate is high, don't bother making friends as about 75-80% of the people you start with won’t make it. Phase 1 of EOD school goes something like this over 10 weeks 1.

While you will be living and attending EOD Phase 1 on Ordnance Island, it's just an area where they stick all ordnance branch AITs and some Marines who like to count bullets. Just fucking with you, it's just Fort Lee, VA.
#Army mos 89d update
PHASE 1: (There is an update on the order of this Phase at the bottom) Next you'll head over to the beautiful and exotic, Ordnance Island. Don't get too attached to them, as there is a solid chance that maybe one of you will make it. Your experiences will vary, you may meet some people who are also EOD hopefuls.

You think I'm joking? Start reading.ĮDIT : There are updates at the bottom, the field is always changing!ĮDIT : Watch this for a run down of NAVSCOLEOD.īCT: You'll do your 10 weeks of BCT, most likely at Fort Jackson. I'll start with the #1 Rule of EOD School. So your recruiter sold you on being an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician, here is what you need to know (since they probably had no clue).
