[QUOTE="RDJ, post: 12022491, member: 5905"] My experience with the EOD guys in Iraq (admittedly NOT on an op lol) they were one of the finest bar none when it came to professionalism on the job and laid back and friendly no b.s. off. and LOL at your family thinking the Hurt Locker was anything to base their fears on. a LOT of that movie was hollywood hype. I would certainly let my family know their concerns were duly noted but would not really let them have much influence on my decision. it is YOUR life not theirs, it is YOUR career not theirs. You have to do what is good for you. the GF is another matter. you have to decide if you are willing to let her make your career decisions for you and decide BEFORE the wedding. If you are willing to let her do that fine, but be prepared to never take another risk in your life and be stuck doing jobs that you will not likely enjoy. It take a certain mentality to even want to go into EOD and that mentality will not be happy doing anything mundane. the above being said however, if your GF is not 100% behind you on this and you intend to get married anyway don't bother even applying. EOD is the kind of job you can't have the fact your wife doesn't approve of what you are doing in the back of your mind while you are blowing shit up. the shit you blow up just might be yours because of the distraction.
