US Navy Reserve Medicine
Serving part-time as a Reservist, your duties will be conducted during your scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, Physicians in the Reserve typically drill at a location close to their homes. This gives the flexibility to expand your medical experiences in the Navy without compromising your civilian practice at home.
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year (referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent.
Furthermore, serving as a Reservist physician allows for unique and exciting experiences beyond patient care. Career-long learning in areas within and beyond medicine is both the goal and expectation. You will have the opportunity to shape policy, teach, lead and mentor young men and women, and, if you choose to do so, potentially fly with aviators, sail on ships, dive with the submariners, and/or serve alongside Marines and special operators.
Pulmonary and Critical Care physicians serve essential roles as critical wartime specialists in the military healthcare system. Their efforts in our nation's conflicts have contributed to innovations and advancements in medical care because of their unique qualifications and training, military experiences and/or by their proximity to armed conflicts. These efforts have contributed to unprecedented survival rates in the recent Afghanistan and Persian Gulf conflicts. Pulmonologists and Intensivists also worked on the front lines of the Department of War's COVID-19 pandemic medical response.
For the required two week annual training, physicians may serve anywhere, whether at sea, in hospitals stateside, or in bases and camps in countries around the world.
Benefits include:
Repayment of qualified education loans to the lending institution, paid annually while serving
Annual bonuses for critical wartime specialists

Americans celebrate fireworks on the 4th of July. The other 364 days, Navy EOD-the Navy's elite bomb squad-is working to prevent the ones that aren't for show. Armed with cutting-edge robotics and explosive disposal expertise, they take on missions that demand skill, precision, and absolute nerve-from parachuting into hostile territory to neutralizing underwater mines.
This isn't a job for the ordinary. It's for those who can think fast, stay calm, and operate under extreme pressure-because when it comes to explosives, there's no second chance.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician
NAVY EOD: CAREER DETAILS & REQUIREMENTS
Responsibilities
As an EOD Tech, you'll receive extensive training to perform missions neutralizing explosive weapons in almost every environment. Your duties may require you to:
Detonate and demolish hazardous munitions, pyrotechnics and outdated explosives
Neutralize various ordnance, including sea mines, torpedoes or depth charges
Work with cutting-edge technology to remotely disable unsafe ordnance
Perform parachute or helicopter insertion operations
Support law enforcement agencies
Clear waterways of mines in support of our ships and submarines
Lend your skills and support to other military units or offices, such as the U.S. Secret Service or the U.S. Department of State
Work Environment
Your missions will take you to every corner of the world. One assignment may have you parachuting from 17,000 feet into enemy territory, while the next may deliver you stealthily to a foreign nation via an 11-foot RHIB boat. It all depends on which unit you're supporting and the type of mission to be completed. Though there will be administrative work, the majority of your time will be spent in the field.
Training & Advancement
Upon completion of the initial 10-week training at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes (known as boot camp), you'll begin a specialized training program to prepare you for your career as an EOD Tech.
EOD Preparatory Course
(four weeks) -
The Navy EOD training pipeline starts with preparatory training in Great Lakes, IL. Candidates work on swim stroke development, long-range swims and physical conditioning. Candidates receive daily human performance coaching on mental resiliency, strength training form, running, swimming, calisthenics as well as proper rest, recovery and nutrition. Classroom instruction includes introductions to small boat operations, professional military education and risk management.
EOD Assessment and Selection Course
(four weeks)
- After prep, candidates will be challenged in a grueling training environment in which they are constantly assessed on their comfort in the water, physical fitness, academic ability, professionalism and peer rankings. Classroom instruction includes topics such as risk management, dive physics, diving medicine, small boat navigation and Navy maintenance. 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.
Qualifications & Requirements
No college degree is required to apply for a position as an EOD Technician. However, training is tough and ongoing, and a high degree of difficulty should be expected. You can apply for the Navy Warrior Challenge contract for EOD Technicians at any time during your first enlistment.
