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.
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). Do not answer n00b questions on the main boards.
