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.

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
