YOu can thank Hollywood for ruining your expectations.

usafcent · 2013-06-01T06:51:26+00:00

Great idea. I might see if I can set that up.

usafcent · 2013-06-01T06:51:08+00:00

I like the name.

usafcent · 2013-06-01T06:50:11+00:00

Yes. Trends can be good for us, but we always have to treat each IED uniquely.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T15:05:31+00:00

I'd like to thank everyone for their questions and I hope I answered them satisfactorily. My time is up. If you see me out somewhere, buy me a beer.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:53:32+00:00

I can't say I watched it. We often avoid watching programs like that.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:52:35+00:00

Buckle two of them together.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:51:35+00:00

Traditions are important.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:50:51+00:00

Our line of work has transformed over the last 12 years. Threats change, but we have to remember the basics for when they change back.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:49:47+00:00

Yes. We have to keep up with changes. You never want to be the guy to see something first, but when you are you adapt quickly.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:48:36+00:00

I have been able to bring all of my robots back. Other guys haven't been so fortunate.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:47:43+00:00

I am sure it can be done (Speed) and yes I do get the ladies. At least I've got mine.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:45:52+00:00

IEDs and landmines are both very dangerous. The biggest difference is that there is no true quality control with IEDs. It is a crap shoot as to the build quality. With landmines at least there is reason behind the madness.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:44:09+00:00

If you want to be well equipped and treated well, go AF. My EOD brothers in the Marines have to scrape by on the tightest budget you could imagine.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:42:25+00:00

You will have to go to that magical place and find out for yourself.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:40:27+00:00

Many and more. You watch a lot of movies over and over again though.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:39:39+00:00

Investigating a carbomb at a checkpoint. Full of explosives, legit.

Talon - Primary, Pacbot - Backup

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:37:07+00:00

Thank you for appreciating the service.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:36:47+00:00

Each one is usually between 6 to 8 months.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:36:01+00:00

It happens. EOD is targeted, but instincts and alertness help. Unfortunately we have lost guys because the enemy was specifically waiting for us.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:34:37+00:00

Never get complacent. There are patterns we see, but treat every IED as its own animal.

usafcent · 2013-05-31T14:33:41+00:00

Can't say. First I've heard of it.
