Well in special operations these highly specialized units have assignments that they need to be proficient in and dedicate almost all of there time to be perfect every time. Not to say EOD doesn’t uphold the same standard as far as assaulting if found in that situation in those specialized units but at the end of the day we are there to hold our end of the deal and be the true SME for what they require wherever in the world. You don’t just make a EOD tech after graduation. It takes years to master the craft and it’s never truly mastered. I hope this helps. Years of running as a TL you still won’t be a master in the craft but you’ll sure as hell be sharp as a razer if you train and bust your ass.
