By the way, we have a guy who lives near me that went into UDT in 1943 and stayed with that and SEALS plus a little Navy EOD until 1973. His name is Henry Staples. He is in the movie Frogmen with Richard Widmark.
And speaking of Navy EOD, rent the Elvis movie, "Girls, Girls, Girls" Elvis is a Navy EOD guy.

He was a bit before my time! In my brief time in the teams, I was lucky enough to take out the last platoon from UDT-21, and return with the first platoon from ST-4. UDT-21 was I believe the only team in continuous commission from the very beginning. Many UDTs came and went as wars waxed and waned, but 21 was there from the beginning to the end in 1983. Now it lives on as ST-4, still in Little Creek Virginia, with Central and South America and the Carib as its primary AOR.
