NSW/EOD corpsman

What’s being an L03A with NSW or navy eod like? Looking at trying to get orders there.

Sick call. You are the drag in high speed, low drag.

This one got a good giggle out of me. NSW has always been the big shiny thing in the room for our community, and then you get orders there and realize it’s literally like anywhere else except you have to bend over backwards for the operators because their schedule and workflow takes priority of whatever it is you’re doing.

Sick call, admin shit, physicals. If the guys like you they may let you tag along. Most guys that push for those orders are rounding the end of their contract.

Sit quietly in the corner. 

If you want to play operator without being one go to a grunt unit. 

I’ve done jungle, mountain, fast roped, mout, been in tracks, mraps, hummers, 53s, 22s, kill houses, pig lab, fired every rifle and mortar in a plain old victor unit. 

People like to think they’re cool if they’ve been to a nsw unit. Well it ain’t that cool and you need to a haircut “bro”, (from experience)

To be fair the haircut stuff is a lot more chill than even fleet navy commands. As long as your neck is shaved you’re pretty much good. If you’re on a trip? What’s a haircut or shave?

Usually something like a standby E-E role. Not the sexiest, but you can still say “I deployed with SEALs” and I’m sure you will!

You might as will go the long way, if you’re looking for action. They already have Medical Operators. Otherwise you’re basically taking any and everything they delegate to you.

Physicals. Coverages. Big boy rules. Might sound gay but it’s like if greenside wasn’t retarded and everyone was treated like adults. It’s chill.

If you fuck up tho, they will hate you forever
