Hope everyone had a good 4th. Mine is out of the country so he missed another 4th which is his favorite holiday- go figure, likes to blow things up! Hope all is going well whether in school or at their station.

Welcome to the new Moms. The start to being an EOD tech is a long road filled with many highs and lows. To the ones who sons are starting in BC with a contract know that the whole process is one of weeding out which starts with dive prep after BC. My son was in the fleet before he applied for EOD. The 15 months that he was doing dive prep and school was a long and hard process. I shed many tears both of happiness and sadness. The journey is full of ups and downs. Not trying to sound negative but few are chosen. I will keep everyone in thoughts and prayers as you begin this journey which in the end is one of the best journeys you can take.

Hello EOD Moms!  My son just arrived this week at BC.  I just received my "box" and am anxiously waiting for my form letter.  I am so grateful for this site and the chance to connect with others who are experiencing the same feelings/thoughts.

Thank you for the words of encouragement. From what he tells me, he will have Wi-Fi and can Skype. I hope I get some time, I have to share with the gf, lol

QMGsmom, hopefully the time will go fast. My son was deployed twice before EOD and will be leaving in June with his unit for a 6 month deployment. This is never easy but know that they have each other's back and then some. Hope you will be able to email or skype. Send care packages if you can, between him being on the Ronald Reagan and stationed overseas for 3 years, the people at the post office got to know me pretty well. Will keep you and your sailor in prayer during this new journey.

And so it begins, he's leaving for 6 months. First time. I never could be prepared for this. My only wish is for a safe return.

My son is set to graduate from EOD in June if all goes as planned. I was wondering how long we would have together as well. Thank you for the info ladies.

Welcome Sharon!  We went town for our son's graduation and spent about four day's in Destin. After training is completed as Karenlee stated, they get time off before leaving for their stations. My son is as happy as can be!!!  We are not a brave as he is!  He loves what he does
