Otis Nice Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 This is exactly why I'm losing weight. So I can go EOD and prevent this crap from happening. Welcome home Soldier. Welcome home. Forgive me customers. If you come to my office or call my phone I will be out by the street proudly waving my American flag as the procession comes through.

dover Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Good luck man, what branch are you going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 If I can get a guaranteed shot at the EOD pipeline I'll go Navy. I never wanted to go Navy since grandpa is a 21 year USAF EOD vet, bro-in-law is a USMC SGT, friend is a USMC PFC, and other friends are Army Ranger and Infantry. I've always heard the stereotypes such as, "90 Sailors go down, 45 couples come up," and "Do you really want to be stuck on a ship surrounded by men for 6 months or more at a time?" Truth is I never looked into the Navy for myself. Navy is the only branch that jump AND dive trains it's EOD's though. Therefore they can deploy anywhere at anytime with any team, be it SEAL, Ranger, Green Beret, Marine Recon, etc. If I can't go USN EOD I'll go EOD for any branch. Probably USMC. Luckily the job I want is across all 4 branches. EDIT: Just realized you are military so you probably know all this. Thanks for serving Soldier.

dover Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I didn't know that part about the Navy but I have worked with them in Iraq before. I have a friend in the Navy and he seems to enjoy it. Good luck to you getting the job you want. I have a friend who failed out of the EOD school in the Army, he got sent to the wolves and became needs of the Army. Thanks though :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I know it's tough, but as I said, it's in the blood...or at least I like to think so. So where exactly did your friend end up? MOS? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 He is now an 11B, I enlisted as an 11B but am trying to re-class currently to another MOS, don't want to jinx it just yet but I will post details as soon I get the word.

Otis Nice Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Good luck. The funeral procession just passed. To see so many businesses lock their doors and so many people from the town come out was amazing. The middle school even walked the kids down. God Bless America and God Bless Our Troops!

unfunnyryan Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Your link from the dispatch is gone. I couldn't find it anywhere on there either. Got another link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Weird. Was just there. Channel 10 is here and the funeral is ending so as is custom The Dispatch probably considers it a done deal and it's lost in the memories of time. http://www.myfox28columbus.com/shared/newsroom/top_stories/videos//images/homepage_stopimg-1-_WzuxG.jpg Channel 10 Fox 28 NBC 4 Hopefully one of these will work for ya.

Nate1647545505 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 God bless. We have a USMC EOD tech on the forum, I do believe his name is Bobby Lee. Get an idea of what YOU want from the service, and let the recruiter work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
