OH THE BUDWEISER

Today was relatively uneventful with the exception of having my two ice cold Budweisers. They were delicious. The everclear that followed it wasn't too bad either. EOD techs need to be resourceful. A busy day for the Navy team today but it still went by fast for us on our day off. Maybe tomorrow we'll finish the construction of our hallway but I won't hold my breath. I am glad I got this internet connection though.

Grade 3 Destruct


Today we did a destruction of the grade 3 items from the ammunition supply point (ASP). It had a total Net Explosive Weight (NEW) of over 2600 pounds. We tried to make a EOD crab out of it but a piece of det cord didn't want to cooperate. Usually the Navy EOD tech responsible for this would owe beer but there is a little shortage around here. It was an otherwise slow day for calls which was good for those able to celebrate our 231st birthday.

Gotta love big demo shots. I would of shown the explosion but I am not computer savvy enough to pull it out of a video clip. Hope all are doing well.
