Explosive Ordnance disposal
technicians perform one of the most
dangerous missions in the military
and have adapted their equipment
and technology to meet the ever
changing tactics of their adversaries.
EOD jobs in the Air Force have claimed the lives of 20 technicians
since 2006 alone. Since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan kicked off in
the early 2000s, the danger has increased. Now, instead of taking care
of unexploded ordnance found on bases or blowing up a building,
EOD technicians are in combat zones scouring the desert and terrain
for their new enemy: improvised explosive devices. Once a
rarely-heard acronym, IED is now a
household name and no group is more
familiar with the term than EOD
technicians.
Come to Bell Library and Hear about
what this specialized job is all about.
DATE & TIME TO BE ANNOUNCED
Yes, that’s right.
This bracelet is made
from resistors.
Come and make this
awesome bracelet on
Thursday, July 16th
at 6:00 PM.
