Here is the link. Not sure if this site always posts the ceremony, but they have been since the pandemic. It's a public FB group that you can join. I also belong to a private FB group for EOD as well. Here is the Navy one that posts the videos.

Enjoy. It was great fun to watch. I have been watching again and again. And thanks all for the congrats. Such a proud moment.
Congratulations RubberDucky! Hooyah! Would also love the link to see the video of the ceremony.
RubberDucky, is the video public? I would like to see it.
thanks karenlee
Congratulations RubberDucky! It was great that they posted the video!
RubberDucky,
Congratulations to your sailor and you. It’s a journey for sure. Sorry that you couldn’t be there but glad you got to see the ceremony. Again congrats.
Yesterday was the big day. Pinning ceremony at Eglin. Sad to not be there but it was taped and put up on the organization's FB page. Next up, Jump School. 2 1/2 years and he finally has a rank on his uniform. That certainly deserves a Hooyah! Hope all are doing well as your sons follow this journey. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Welcome !
