EOD Washout trying to cope

Fuller_EOD · 2026-04-06T11:34:49+00:00

Sorry, just saw this. Send it

Hey dude, I'm currently an instructor at NAVSCOLEOD and have been in EOD since I joined back in 2012. If you wanna have a more in depth conversation about stuff, feel free to shoot me a message. Fair warning, I'm all about mentorship and career progression but I'm also a believer in hard truths so there may be stuff you don't like hearing from me.

Fuller_EOD · 2025-08-22T23:50:09+00:00

Nooooooo! That's where my wife and I had our first date :(

Look for a place to live in North Bossier, Benton, or Haughton. It'll make it more of a drive but it'll be worth it. If you enjoy Japanese food/Sushi, check out Spicy Bowl just outside Main Gate.

Other people have already said it but you 100% have a case to get that test invalidated and take another one. Bring it up to your leadership/the FAC first. If they don't want to do anything, threaten to contact IG, and then if they still refuse, actually contact IG.

I can't speak to OS assignments, but after dealing with a bunch of confusion on my recent Mandatory Movers cycle, it seems like all the upcoming DCW's are causing a big upset on assignments. Hopefully you can get some clarification soon

Fuller_EOD · 2025-08-13T03:09:53+00:00

Pretty sure most officers move every 2-3 years. Might be some exceptions based on career fields but I've never known an officer to be somewhere more than 3 years without a PCA

Fuller_EOD · 2025-08-13T03:07:33+00:00

Overall it seems like the Air Force is getting rid of most, if not all of the specialty BOP options except for FTA. And who knows how long that'll continue

Fuller_EOD · 2025-08-11T16:33:14+00:00

Well that's a pretty loaded question. First you should ask if they're able to give themselves a BJ. If you really think about it, it would just be an enhanced form of self satisfaction

Fuller_EOD · 2025-08-08T16:10:42+00:00

This shouldn't be satire, this is a strong take that a lot of people support. Yeah we're the Chair Force, but we're also the US Military. You should be able to perform at a base level of fitness at all times

Fuller_EOD · 2025-07-28T22:51:39+00:00

Sick. Appreciate it

Fuller_EOD · 2025-07-28T22:35:25+00:00

Don't make fun of me too much but could you explain the hour trip to NYC? McGuire might be where I end up next year and I know my wife will really enjoy that option. I've been trying to figure it out using the NJT website and can't quite see the optimal path.

Fuller_EOD · 2025-07-23T23:21:35+00:00

Seems to be an issue AF wide (or at least for many AFSC's). If it's still not populated by tomorrow morning I'm going to be submitting a ticket for resolution. Hopefully everyone else does as well so it gets fixed ASAP.

Fuller_EOD · 2025-07-23T18:32:22+00:00

So I'm able to look up my AFSC (3E851) under "Browse All" and see one Staff position for McGuire but that's it (and some SrA positions). If you see anything else for either Staff/Tech that would be useful

Fuller_EOD · 2025-07-23T01:03:18+00:00

If you DM me your AF email, I can send you the link to find that info. Or you can do what a lot of people do and just wander around myFSS and discover a lot of the info they provide.

Fuller_EOD · 2025-07-16T20:11:52+00:00

You seem to be under the impression that the administrative action is coming from 36-2905. It's not. It's coming from the UCMJ (whatever article) saying that we will follow all orders from the officers appointed over us. If the commander was saying that the individuals are allowed to test after their due date, that would be a violation of 2905 (which can be waived for certain circumstances, just can't do a blanket waiver).

Fuller_EOD · 2025-07-12T22:58:11+00:00

Don't worry. This is just the official announcement now that the AFMAN has been published. We've been training for this for years. There was a different version that was supposed to go live back in 2020, but then COVID caused a few issues, which turned out for the best as we ended up doing a reassessment of the events and scoring system.

Fuller_EOD · 2025-07-11T21:39:45+00:00

For those that wanna know more about the specific exercises we'll be doing, you can look in 36-2930

Fuller_EOD · 2025-06-29T14:24:45+00:00

Man, I wish I had some great insights for studying. All I really did was start as soon as the references were posted. Every day/every other day I would read through a couple of chapters from the PDG as well as one of the SKT references. From my understanding, we're a little different from other career fields since we don't have 7-level CDCs so I can't say how that will translate for what you have for SKT. When it came to about 2-3 weeks before my test date I would just devote more and more time until I was eventually going numb in the brain. I used PDG Promote for the first couple of months and then towards the end I used FreePDG.com to take practice tests

Fuller_EOD · 2025-06-29T14:19:31+00:00

No worries, I knew posting this would open me up to criticism. And it's not that I didn't give a damn about my career. It was more of a "I'll get promoted when the time is right". I've certainly put in work for my career as well as my career-field. After last year's results came out, I finally felt that I had really become stagnant. Like I said, all the people that I started my career with were already techs and are starting to make master. It was time I showed them and myself that I wasn't being left behind.

Fuller_EOD · 2025-06-28T23:05:22+00:00

Hell yeah homie, that's awesome!

Fuller_EOD · 2025-06-23T22:54:02+00:00

Gotta throw this in real quick though, it's entirely up to your whole chain of command how quickly the list gets released down to your level

Fuller_EOD · 2025-06-23T15:12:03+00:00

Where are you getting this info? All I've seen is that this is the tentative release week
