Would you tell us how you heard about UDT and why you wanted join? It was the outside edge of the envelope--where I liked to be

Also, what type of course work does EOD require and how long does it take someone to be a qualified EOD person/operator? The EOD course was a year long--it literally covered every way for something to explode--from pipe bombs to nukes

Is there a point at a certain year etc where skills are equal? Your skills are entirely internal--good enough equals alive

Did the parachutes you guys used have a weight limit? Our parachutesare huge--I could fly 1000llbs easy Lowest 550'---highest 34500---both fun

Did you guys have to be ready to operate within a certain time frame and were there different levels of readiness depending what team you were assigned, or what platoon within that team? Like did you know they are going to send those 16, or 32 gys before you and your platoon? Etc.

Did you ever tell us what your favorite ride …(chopper, aircraft, SDV, etc
