Daily physical training and assessments are centered around five advanced aquatic adaptability skills, ruck runs, distance swims and the human performance test. At the end of the course, candidates will participate in a formal selection board. Here, instructors will select the best qualified and most likely to successfully complete advanced training to graduate and proceed to diver training.
Diver Training
(seven weeks)
-
Next comes dive school at the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC) in Panama City, FL. Training covers basic concepts of scuba diving as well as dive physics, physiology and basic dive medicine. Candidates also learn about equipment such as the MK16 underwater rebreather and MK25 underwater rebreather.
EOD School
(44 weeks) -
After successfully completing dive school, candidates transfer to Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal School at Eglin Air Force Base in Fort Walton Beach, FL. This training comes in several sections, each section building upon the skills learned from previous areas of training. Candidates will train in demolition operations, rendering safe bombs, missiles, landmines, defusing Improvise Explosive Devices (IEDs), protecting and detecting against Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) weapons and mastering skills needed to defeat underwater ordnance such as sea mines and torpedoes.
Basic Parachute Training
(three weeks) -
After completing basic EOD school, graduates attend basic airborne training ("jump school") at Fort Benning, GA, where they qualify as a basic parachutist.
EOD Tactical Training
(four weeks) -
The final phase of training is in San Diego, CA. It teaches helicopter insertion (fast-rope, rappel, cast and special patrol insertion, and extraction rigging), small arms/weapons training, small unit tactics (weapons, self-defense, land navigation and patrolling) and tactical communications (satellite and high frequency).
Upon successful completion of the EOD training pipeline, graduates are assigned to EOD mobile units where they gain advanced on-the-job training and experience as members of EOD platoons.
Advanced Training
-
EOD technicians may pursue advanced training options to hone and specialize their skills. Some of these options include:
Parachute water insertion training
Military freefall
Advanced Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (AIEDD)
WMD training
Jumpmaster training
Small unit tactics
Small arms instructor
Language school (Defense Language Institute)
EOD communications (tactical radio communications)
Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and based on performance.
For those with further leadership aspirations and a college degree, EOD Officer roles are available, providing the opportunity to lead and train others.
Post-Service Opportunities
It's also important to note that the specialized training received, and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields.
Education Opportunities
Members of the Naval Special Operations community have any number of unique opportunities to advance their education. Navy training provides skills and knowledge in everything from the fundamentals of explosive ordnance disposal to chemical and biological warfare, military tactics, deep-sea diving, as well as other tactical military procedures.
Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy training in the NSW/NSO field can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education.
You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
