E.O.D. PING or should I say BOOM!!!
Hollywood should make a film on these guys along the lines of the old
"Danger: UXB" series about the WWII British bomb disposal squads.
(Only the current work is more harrowing; the Brits didn't have Germans lobbing
mortar shells at them while they were working.)
Of course, Hollywood would make these guys look like villains for short-circuiting
the objectives of "freedom fighters".
It's great to see the sister services working closely together.
Thanks from AF retiree.
