It was once said by a EOD. “Either I get it right, or it ain’t my problem anymore”
That's the sad part of the story.. I salute and respect these brave warriors. They say there is a different breed of people for certain shit... well I think this is that certain shit..
i mean thats how we all handle our shit so im not too suprised
Truest statement ever!
As a former grunt, I must say this, the EOD has a set so big they need a wheeled barrel to carry their nuts around.
How long do you have to get out of a minefield??
The rest of your life
Kamikaze pilot is pretty tough.
lol. true. meth would be the kick starter from what i read.
@@JamesonsTravels imagine giving a squad of marines meth when they are in combat
@@luxmid7486 the nazis did that, not that hard to imagine
@@luxmid7486 I thought was the ingredient in crayons 😆
@@yourtrappedinmygenjutsu it was easier to do back then and i feel the modern day marine is stronger faster better equipped than the 1940s Nazi infanteer so i personally would vote in favor of allowing volunteers to take meth, the video evidence during afghanistan showed how the native fighters the western troops would cooperate and work with would get baked on hash and weed and other things when they would stop lol
Me: an EOD trainee excitedly waiting for Jameson to talk about us.
Jameson: "No thank you"
I'm cool. Humility without direction or desire.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
God Bless you, sir!
Us? Dumb trainee
@@dingus5067 he said “us” as in him and his brothers who are EODs, you sound like a dumb ass
My father was a medic for the 11th infantry brigade in Vietnam , everyone looked out for him, he saved so many of his brothers. R.I.P. DAD YOU ARE MISSED.
Thank you
Sorry for your loss
P.I.P I'm so sorry 😭😔
I'm just looking at my family history and find out my Great Grand farther was a medic in the first world war
@@tub19 thats awesome
Yes he has the best commentary
True😅👊
Another one to artillery: We have a saying in German army. Artillery does not differ friend or foe, it only cares about good targets.
Artillery conquers, Infantry only occupies.
The US and UK has it its own saying nothing can kill us absolutely nothing can kill us except for fucking artillery, artillery can fucking kill us but thats for all except air and the navy
it dosent care about your hearing either
“Angel hardened, warrior demon killer” this dude is too funny 😂
Mans bare funny🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪got me dead💀💯💯
Tuska
Angel hearted, warrior demon killer
Hearted
Literally the guy from DOOM
"Angel heart warrior demon killers" started this one off strong!! If I was a kid again.
_My opinion, other than front line or patrol troops, toughest and most honorable job is the Military Helicopter Ambulance crew, who's job is to risk their lives daily, to fly into active combat zones to recover injured civilians, solders, or the dead, while being fired upon when flying, landing and taking off, when there're on the clock and evacuation is called in, every second is crucial._
My grandfather was one, I didn’t know him for long as he passed away due to heart problems later in his life but from what I did know he was a very formidable man
My grandpa was a engineer in Vietnam he built Bridges on the front lines... he found a young kid he ended up finding a way to adopt him and bring him home but a few days before he was gonna go home the kid was struck directly with an RPG. my grandpa is real hell of a man!!
Ended up talking to him he was a navy seabee
....slightly morbid
@@aceey-7351 fr 😂
Man dude your grandpa must have had the life. He should have great pride in that
Thank you for what he did
If he is still alive, please thank him for his service! Navy CB is a real bad ass!
Being a grunt absolutely sucked just about 100% of the time. And I loved every second of it.
I've heard the horror stories and I have respect for the grunts.
Grunt with a shovel here(engineer) I totally agree brother.
That’s awesome
Embrace the suck
Damn right brother
Rule 1: Doc never gets hit!
Rule 2: If Doc gets hit, Kill everything, get them out immediately!
I’m a 19 year JTAC and I’ve had the honor to serve with a lot of these forces. I have to give the nod to the 1/14 Cav that I served with/supported during 2003/2004. I’d also mention the 1/5 bobcats and deuce four of the 1/25 inf in Mosul. Also, the 1st and subsequently the 20 SFG(A) teams at the KRAB and also the others I had the pleasure of doing business with out of Balad and BIAP nightly later on...
You guys kill it every day. Whether it’s Battalion or Company/Squadron or Troop layouts, EIB/Spur rides/NTC or JRTC JIs/“PREP” .. tons of pride and memories. Never fuckin’ quit!!!
As a Former Marine, I have the utmost respect for PJ's. These guys are Seals at Paramedic level.
Before I joined the Army in 2005, I was told that Combat Engineers had the highest casualty rates in the Army at the time. Naturally that's what I chose to do, just as my grandfather did before me. I remember hearing a story my NCO told of being on a convoy and stopping because of some unidentified object in the road. Being a Sapper, he was voluntold to see if it was an IED. After walking up to it and kicking it, he confirmed it was only a hubcap.
The Marine infantry I was embedded with in Afghanistan ( so they told me ) went through some serious combat medical training. They were taken to a non-disclosed location for I think 2 weeks training where they went through classroom training then they had to hump and run and then do rescue training on Injured PIGS. Pigs with Broken legs PIGS that have been SHOT they had to medically rescue the PIGS then carry their PIGS back to a LZ or base and treat them and keep them alive. It was of course Very Controversial but sounds very realistic far more than anything I ever went through back when I was in the Marines with the basic combat training.
Yeah it’s a good course. Had a lot of fun and learned a lot when I did it as a corpsman
I am amazed by how much training and equipment has improved. Our first aid kit was a single bandage.
My grandpa was a navy engineer now he's 78 and is retired I love him such a nice guy
One of my grandfathers was trained as a brick layer and was sent to the trenches during WWI.
I never met him but I image he helped building bunkers and trenches.
Have a great day everyone!
You as well.
You too
Thanks comrade, you have a good day to.
You too!
You too
Cavalry Scout here. It's a sweet gig. So the name of the game is recon recon recon. We do a lot of infantry shit too though.
Hi future cav scout here I get shipped in June when I'm done with school do you have any tips that I should know before going in??
@@Mxz239 Don't quit. Don't fail. Don't piss off Drill sergeant. My cycle was the last 16 week before it got changed to 22 weeks and they added all the covid shit. So your experience will vary.
@@xer0kills294 got it thanks for the info hopefully I don't piss off the DS have a good day.
I was apart of that 22 week pilot cycle, being a scout like he said is 100% recon but always remember to be disciplined and get yourself acquainted with all the classroom learning you get because it literally life or death.
SEND IT.
@@RoycePeso thanks dude I'll keep that in mind when I ship out.
We can’t forget support battalions. I deployed as a 92Foxtrot. We did a lot of convoy security. We came under fire often.
Thanks for your videos, Sir. Greatly appreciate your service.
Short, straight to the point, no bs. Great video
Infantry here. We do the most with the least. Special Operations gets better equipment, rides to objective, hair gel and book deals.
They left off Army and Marine Helo pilots. As an Army Aviator, going into hot LZs or flying with goggles 5 ft above the ground at 100 kts is not a walk in the park.
I could only imagine as a ten year grunt and a low hour civilian heli pilot. I get stressed doing off airport landings on rough terrain🤣
You got that right. Being a Crew Chief in a UH-1 Helicopter is no cake walk.!!
True,True,but other than that they got it easy.They get to fly back to chow,and warm sheets LOL
@@carlinbrumback8931 Life expedite is about that of a duck during duck season. we even at times get our ass in the grass with everyone else. as far as perks you can't keep a helicopter in a rice paddy.!!
@@carlbrown5150 But us grunts got it worse
Favorite CZcams channel by far, keep it coming!!!! 🇨🇦
Excellent my job finally made a video. I was one of the fortunate few to become a fight pilot flying the Viper (F-16). I have nothing but respect for you marines. We're all brothers in the long run.
Like what your grandfather recalled... In Denmark, post ww2, young German conscripts were used to clear the massive mine fields of Rommels Atlantic Wall. They had to walk over cleared fields to prove the quality of their work. The movie "Under the Sand" shows the tragic fate of some of these boys.
I remembered my training as Armored Pioneer in Engineering Unit when we learn to arm and disarm AP, AT mines, clear mine fields, set mine fields, created different charges with TNT, detonate mines, set up Det Cords, Bangalore Torpedo charge, etc... Looking back the 2 tears full time, mine was unique having been in infantry, then engineer, armored MG Gunner, Logistics and then MG Gunner in Infantry for my 10 years reservist
So much to learn. When my Father joined almost 100 years ago, there were only three options for him. Cavalry, infantry, and artillery. Calvary was out. He'd been raised on a farm, and figured they'd have him cleaning out the stables. Didn't pick infantry, because they had to walk to work. He chose artillery, as he rightfully thought they'd get to ride to work, on the trains, caissons, or artillery tractors, or the guns themselves. He was in and out of the army for 28 years total. Went all the way to Captain, then after WW2, was RIFed back to CWO. Retired 1959 as CWO, with a Colonel's pay due to time in service. As he said, the Army was good to a farm boy who didn't even finish HS before joining. Did get a GED and BS Degree in Psychology from the Armed Forces Institute while in. He passed in the late eighties. I miss him to this day.
Great video ! Thanks
My grandpa was in the cavalry when it was still using horses. Some interesting stories he had. Wouldnt tell many but when he did they were so interesting. Was also in rhineland in a serious firefight. Used to have night terrors all the time. Wish I had sat my ass down and asked him for more stories and details but didnt wanna upset him.
WW1?
My gramps was WW1 AND I asked him to tell me about his war experience. He shook his head and said War is to be forgotten, and is not for Women or Children ever. Every Nov 11th he marched with the veterans, Cdn legion even though he fought with Britain. He would end up sobbing for his fallen friends and be lost in his memories. Later I grew up to be a Nurse and cared for many WW1 vets. They all were of 2 types, brag about their service, or like Grandpa carry it inside and move forward. Most of braggers weren't deep in battle I found as I listened. It was my honor to care for them.
my great grandfather was on the King George V battleship (one of the 2 ships that sunk the Turpitz and the Bismarck) as an anti-aircraft gunner, he told me that one of the things he had to do before being allowed on board for the first time was to swim a lap of the ship which was over 200 meters long to prove his fitness and he also spent time docked in pearl harbour (after the attack) i wish i got the chance to hear more of his stories.
@@louiewatson9389 ww2
@@joywebster2678 i always start balling seeing any veterans brought to tears like that. It had to have been really rough.
I remember Mark Felton on his channel talking about German POWs helping out the allies in mine and explosive removal. They gave them back their armored vehicles including panzer IV’s - many of which were destroyed and men were killed looking for their own mines. These were a essentially reactivated German units to do these jobs in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Your father may have been overseeing some of these German units.
Love your videos! Spend way too much time on your channel. Any plans to make video about the norwegian military? FSK or KJK?
Or maybe about the homeguard that we got. (Civilians that do military duty 1 week a year until the age of 44)
Been great to hear your oppinions and points of view about this.
- former firefighter in the royal norwegian airforce.
Your video really teach me the reality of it thank you.
I was considering being navy seal, green berets, army ranger, or even Marine Raider. But now man Airforce Para Rescue seems for me! I’m literally saving lives there.
If you really want a challenge you need to look into combat controller.
I ship out Monday for 12b (combat engineer).. really looking forward to it and hope I get more out of this than I did the Air Force
Oh you will.:-)
Great Podcast Sir
I was a 1371 Combat Engineer from 2001 - 2010 in the Marines and loved every minute of it. they used to call us super grunts. Semper Fi Brothers
Ex SF guy here- absolutely agreed wrt your comment “worse to be a grunt”. SOF units are “in and out” with a task. Conventional forces not so much.....
Cheers.
we all have a job the sf guys i met helped us out no end and we repaid them by doing security or infil for them
Y’all see when the EOD part came up and he said “ no thank you “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As usual great video! Thank you for your interesting work. And thank you for your service!
I love your content im a new subscriber thank you for your service sir!
Leaving for fort benning Monday and my mos is cav scout.
I just graduated late from fort Benning as a 19D, Good luck!
Embrace the suck
If ya ain't cav..
@@Coolblaster6 you ain't shit lol heard that so much over my 18 years in the Army as a 19D Cav Scout
Good luck, was 19D 2000 - 2003. Basic and AIT at Ft Knox, then stationed in Germany. Best years of my life. Have fun!!!
I asked an EOD cat if he would ever get nervous disarming bombs, he said "not really, if I get it right, great, if not then it's not my problem anymore"
I'm addicted to your channel your patter is superb 👌
My cousin was a special operations recon for the marines. He told me some of the shot he had to do, and it makes me more thankful for the men and women fighting for this country
19D. Recon is pretty damn dangerous. Frontline for the frontline
No
Yes
When you see the EOD running I suggest you run in the same direction!
I love your channel man 💪🏾
tbh those guardian angels were sick. im a physio and im just maaad impressed how much of alround talents those guys must be. like honestly, beeing a good medic is already hard, handeling all those terrains is insane and then in addition being a good soldier and shooter makes it just the most badass u could possible be in real life. mad respect to those who are at the moment and may you always get home safe and those who u are rescuing
Army Rangers are special operators doing Grunt stuff
Ummm... Yes, but more. They get personnel rescue and kill/capture missions as well
Storm troopers?
Average grunts stay in theater for as long as it takes. Sometimes longer.
I was a sapper sergeant in the Marines. I was fortunate enough to never deal with bridging, water, or any boring stuff. Construction was rare, fortification was common. My unit was primarily explosives and my squad would attach to the infantry as their explosives/breaching guys. Lots of wild stories and missing fingers!
I love all your videos mate
Alternative tittle: Most Dangerous Job,The Military
Basically everyone that isn't in admin, motor pool, or logi
@@Mooncricketstinks
You never travelled the sacred road then, you never sailed the sea hunted by enemy ships
@@thodan467 I'm confused by your statement. I was twice barred from joining due to medical. Where I'm coming from is the odds of danger vs more expected danger. In infantry, for example, its expected to be more dangerous than admin, motor pool, or logi.
Edit: odds not likeness
@@Mooncricketstinks
The sacred road is the name of the road the french supplied their soldiers in the battle of verdun.
It was the only useable road, if you could call it a road and if usable includes continuos artillery fire.
Sailors of the british empire saild the seas to bring supplies where needed, attacked by merchant raiders and submarines in the WWs.
Repeatedly torpedoed, but they enlisted none the less.
The two most dangerous duties in ETO in WWII for the US was the merchant marine and the Bombers.
Both services´d the highest losses, not the ground combat forces.
Even in Admin, etc you´´re expected to fight, including enemy infantry including paratroopers or tanks.
But you don´t can expect the heabvy weapons support the infantry or the other combat and combat support forces can.
It's probably more dangerous being a police officer then being in the military
It bugs me how they loop Tankers in with Cav Scouts. There are big differences. Cav Scouts are for ward operating looking for enemy to relay back to the battalion command. Tankers operate high caliber direct fire weapon systems wheather its the 105mm sabot out of the Stryker mgs or the 120mm out of the m1a2. Tankers use high mobility combined with protection to engage and destrh enemy armor targets and infantry alike.
can i just say i love how your thumbnail is so consistent with you just looking at video thumbnail at the bottom right hand corner
another great vid, thanks Jameson
So as cavalry scouts we are primarily a reconnaissance mos but we are capable of conducting infantry missions but our units are small
We're also trained to do everyone else's job. Everything from medic with combat lifesaver school, eod, commo, and surveying buildings and bridges. Also go through water survival, (me personally, I went to sniper and pathfinder school). We're far more specialized than infantry. We can do the job as infantry(if there were enough of us) but there is no way an infantryman could be a scout.
@@amateurastronaut5006 infantry has recon/scouts
@@jacobgoins1773 I'm aware of that fact. I was attached to an armor batallion. But I know people that were attached to the infantry.
@@amateurastronaut5006 cav scouts try to do everyones job, I would never trust a cav scout with calling in any fire support
@@kennedywilson8825 what?? You do know calling in fire support is one of the major duties of a cav scout don't you?
Being a grunt is THE best damn f*cling job in corps. I had the honor of getting some on a daily basis!
Ya you got them cheeks busted on the daily.
MP was pretty good too.
When I was at Lewis with 2-3 Old Guard we had 2nd Ranger Batt across the airfield, and across the street from us was a Detachment of PJ's - super chill dudes - Have the Green Beret attitude which is awesome.
I was in the us army corp of engineers i am so glad someone thinks highly of us. We are always forgotten til they need something.
One thing that sets the engineers out is. everyone from Privates to officers are push to think and solve problems on their own if needed. Meaning free thinkers.
Now we worked hard and we partied hard in the military.
You can understand that I am very proud of my service
Cav scouts typically where I was do the same thing as the infantry but they have the added recon mission. Thus, they typically act as the forward observer version of infantry in layman terms (obviously theres more to it than that but quick summary).
And infantrymen like to say we're pog😂😂
@@warflowers5639 definition wise technically “person other than grunt” defines every mos as that. But in my opinion doesn’t matter. I think its a useless term. You will find high caliber soldier’s all over the army no matter the job. And most infantry would gladly trade jobs lol. Don’t let them fool you.
Lol yeah although we have all this tech as an FO analog fire missions are still a big thing we train on
I was a Cav Scout. I’ve been in both light and heavy cav units as well as Corps level LRS. The traditional roll of a scout is reconnaissance for infantry and armor units. Scouting routes for commanders to move troops. Moving ahead of the main force to identify threats and enemy assets and provide security to the commanders assault protecting flanks. The 2003 invasion of Iraq, scouts were in their traditional roll but Post 9/11 and throughout the GWOT scouts have assumed an infantry roll during combat operations
I’m an engineer attached to 1/8, we have a CAAT platoon, with us, when we go into a raid training op at the mout town, we use them for getting us close and then as an ambulance. As well as calling them in for fire support
Marine?
My grandpa was a foot man and my dad but only my grandpa went to war and he is still alive
These sound pretty hard. Imagine how hard these were if some were around in ww2.
I am a former Combat Engineer and EOD technician and I love my job. In Australia the course I did went for 5 Months and had a 50% failure rate
I enjoy your videos. Keep it up.
Hands down, the infantry is the most dangerous. Special Ops. Are dangerous but they go in on mission and get extracted in the grunts you go in the bush and stay in the bush.
I think it depends on the frequency/type of assault missions being performed by the special ops. For example, MACV-SOG had a casualty rate of over %100.
PJ's are in the Air Force, they rescue all branches.
Pj’s are also a qualification in the navy
And??
A friend of mine's son is a PJ. He jumped into the Med Sea to try to save some soldiers whose chopper went down. Won the Army Distinguished Service Cross for his efforts.
PJ is Air Force not army
@@spaceman7424 Correct, but my friend's son was rescuing Army Soldiers. The Army Unit Commander recognized Airman Butler's heroics and submitted him for the DSC on the Army side.
@@spaceman7424 ... PJ’s don’t put restrictions on what branches they work with & rescue.
Keep up the good work
The USMC is the Ironfist against the enemy :)

Since I came across Jamesons Travels, any reaction type video i watch is not the same without hearing "let me know what you guys think in the comments" lol. Keep them coming Jamesons Travels. Great videos
My great grandad was a sailor on a battle ship in ww2. He never really talked about it but my grandma and grandpa said one time the ship tgat him and his crew were on became beached for months. All he would tell them is they did what they had to do to survive. I can't imagine especially back in those days
I was waiting so long for an upload and u upload while I’m at school damn.

@@tylerbyhanna9150 and? He never said it wasn’t, and I am PRETTY SURE he, along with most of the planet are aware of that.
Glad to see they included combat engineers. We clear mines, IEDs, route clearance, place and detonate explosives, we also build and destroy obstacles and fighting positions. Now there are other engineers that do construction and such but combat engineers are exactly that combat arms. The engineer part is really a misnomer.
Essayons
I agree with your thought on the day to day grind.
Navy pilots are the best pilots, having to deal with the pitch and yaw of a ship is aids.
ever see one of those in rough seas try to land and you wont forget it. no thanks.
@@JamesonsTravels yea fuck all that. When I was a kid I wanted to be a fighter pilot, but even then I saw carrier landings and wanted nothing to do with them!
The Airforce grounded their birds for a sand storm once while we were on station (Fifth Fleet). Meanwhile our pilots continued flying despite the fact that the sandstorm was just as bad out at sea. You wouldn't see our aircraft off the Stern until they were about 50 yards away from touching down. Literally dropping out of a vast, low hanging brown sky and hitting the LA. The aircraft washes after that really sucked too. Imagine someone coating all of the flight controls, hydraulic lines and actuators in Khaki colored baking flour.
I disagree Marine pilots got to do the same stuff that Navy pilots do probably not as many carrier landings though which makes the job of a Marine aviator one of the hardest jobs because they dont get the constant repetitive carrier deck landing practice as navy pilots get plus in the navy officer world its all Joe Bob and Jack civilian trash demeaner... Not in the Marine Corps world they demand way to much from there pilots plus the Marine Corps has to fly the crapiest hand me down Navy aircraft which in my book makes them the best pilots in the world to have to deal with that GARBAGE! If you want to know where all the Marine aircraft is look for the massive oil spills and patch work... Marine aircraft like to bleed baby!
@@nonyabiz9487 Sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about frankly. We used to be able to stand in the smoke pit on the Port Side 03 Deck smokepit and hear the pilots landing. You could ALWAYS differentiate a Naval Aviator from a Marine Aviator because Marines would stay up on power after catching the cable, while Naval Aviators usually cut power almost immediately after touching down. Have you ever witnessed Naval/Marine Aviation Air Ops or are you pulling an opinion from the deepest realms of your ass?
Sir, with respect, God bless you, & thank you for leading the way & for your services & thank you for your wisdom & for your education & for all of your help & for your videos, sir.
Sincerely, this 33 yr old, future recruit I pray, with age waiver passed, for the United States Marine Corps, the only branch I'll ever want to earn the title from & of, called Marine, if I'm still capable of it I pray & hope & aim for.

My Dad was a combat engineer and always said. "They were first in and last out."
Back in WW1 my grandad on my dad's side was a mine clearer, spent most of the days crawling along the ground, stabbing it to find mines. One of the mines exploded and took his legs.
5:20 my grategrandfather from ww2 once told me "if you see a bomb tecnishen running, follow him"
I take my asvab next week wish me luck
Good luck 😎👍🏻🇺🇸
How did it go?
My PST scores which by the skin of my teeth got me a seal contract this past November 2020.
500 yard swim: 8:29.
Pushups: 83.
Sit ups: 102.
Pull ups: 22.
1.5 mile run: 9:09.
Asvab: 89
The contract review board is taking everything into account, even asvab scores. Guys in my NSW group who’ve wanted to be SEALs and nothing else their entire lives are settling for SWCC and Air Rescue contracts.
Don't know if youll respond but 2 years later, how'd it go?
Combat engineer here C series. EOD are some bad dudes who helped us a few times in Iraq. My butt got puckered a few times over there. Good video!
Leaving for meps at 11:30 AM east for the U.S. Army infantry man with airborne contract. Wish me luck I got the hardest job on the block. I’ll keep you guys updated.
Lol. Treat it like a videogame (BCT)- and no matter how shitty it gets remind yourself it could always be worse.
You could be in Marine Basic. 😂
Shit or you could be in BCT 2004- uts a new Army now. BCT is now pretty much impossible to fail.
Well I’m 17 a junior in highschool I go to basic this sunmer as split ops program. But I passed asvab with a 40 something. I’m going 11B with airborne. But yeah went well I got my physical and swear in ceremony tomorrow
So for the army the engineers is a big mos pool ranging from combat engineer to diver all in the 12 series aka engineer field. Combat engineers on the other does don't do as much engineering as you think there are different mos's for the things you named 12B aka Combat engineers normally work on explosives, setting up and tacking down opticals, route clearance for ied's, clearing mine fields setting up mine fields, clearing buildings, setting up booby traps and disarming them. But that is what a us army combat engineer train on and do now days. Not saying that we don't work with heavy machinery but that's on small occasions. The average 12B combat engineer does not know anything about heavy equipment. This is coming from and E5 as a combat engineer
I’ll be shipping out Monday for 12b. How has your experience been with it?
Couldnt say it better my self sappers lead the way.
Only time I ever dealt with a bridge or anything like that was in ait. Did a lot of demo missions some patrols And checkpoints in iraq 2003
In Okinawa '92, I went out with a forward observer for artillery. Dude was a beast. I was able to keep up, but he later told me he was taking it easy on me. A land nav guru, too. The map whisperer. We got in position, found it on a map, found the targets, guessed them on the map. Sent 2 rounds which landed almost dead on. Adjusted. Then fired for effect on a cluster of old jeeps. I'm glad they were on my side. Jeeps and dirt rained down for 30 seconds.
BTW, if you know when and where to look, you can see the rounds in flight. Looks like green footballs raining pain on whatever is about to be destroyed.
In the Greek Armed Forces the most Dangerous jobs are : Ordnance Corps EODs, Combat Engineer Mine Clearance Specialists, HALO Paratroopers, UDTs, Coast Guard SEALS, Fighter Pilots and Submarine Crews. Time served in some of these units counts double. EODs besides any possible combat roles, must eliminate duds after military exercises and Mine Clearance Specialists from the army or the navy's UDTs, are still called on occasion to clear WW2 era mine fields in mountain or sea areas.
