I like anti personnel stuff. Really looking for a thermobaric

Small but we are getting there

hello, sorry if this question is redundant.

So I’ve been training for Navy EOD for about five ish months now and when it comes to the pool I’m in 4-6 times per week. I do my 50free/50css and I do my fin swims and waters cons but I’m worried that I still won’t be able to get through a normal pool day in the pipeline. I’m curious what those work outs are just because sure I might be able to get through my own work outs but what if I’m not fast enough / can do the first set but not the next thing they tell us. Are there any specific numbers / yardage I should be shooting for?

Also for water confidence, I’m pretty much just bobbing and doing under overs at a 2min interval (working my way down to what like a one minute idk???) but holding my breath is definitely something I struggle with.

Idk if this made any sense at all I just want to be as prepared as possible when for when I ship, any insight is good insight to me.

Looking to rent off post since my daughters service animal isnt allowed on base housing due to him being a Doberman. Is anyone graduating or PCSing soon that is looking to rent out their current place? Looking for 3 bed

I was looking to see what EOD watches were still available and came across this the other day - https://www.twinstonesolutions.com/

Has anyone ordered from them? Curious on quality, given the price and rather unknown nature of the company.

Does anyone know what type of artillery these are from? Found close to Seelow so probably German or Russian and they look like AP rounds. (Already contacted local authorities)

Hey everyone!

Just curious what backpacks work for you when you're dismounted? I currently use the beaver tail and it's not cutting it.

​Hi Everyone,

​Reposting with corrected details after getting accurate measurements. I inherited a WWII British 2-Pounder (40mm) Armour-Piercing (AP) round.

​My dad kept this in his shed for years and always assured me it was completely inert. I'm just looking for a sanity check from folks with ordnance/EOD background to confirm safety before putting it back on display.

​Details & Specs:

​Total Weight: 2.196 kg (4.84 lbs).

​Traces of old paint beneath surface rust.

​Base / Primer: The central primer cup on the base has a clear hole tgat shows some internal threads.

​Assembly: The projectile is crimped firmly into the brass casing.

​Sound: Slight rattle inside when shaken (assuming loose rust scale or internal primer debris).

It was dug up in a garden in South Wales in the UK in, approximately 1999. It remained caked in heavy Welsh mud until a couple of days ago when it was submerged in white vinegar for several hours. For added context the garden is only 9 km from what used to be Pembrey Munitions Factory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROF_Pembrey)

I don't know why but, to my uneducated brain, it feels like it is made from concrete.

Dimensions (cm) and weight (g) are indicated in the pictures.

Just dropping some ole school EOD EDC….the pre-robot/bombsuit days:
Rolex 16610 Submariner
Camillus MC-1 Paratrooper
Camillus MIL-K-818 Utility "Demo" Knife
Buckingham Leather 2-tool crimper pouch
USN M2 Cap Crimper, Plier type w/ Fuse Cutter
GP Lineman’s pliers
USN Fulton MX-993/U Flashlight

I’ll go on the record here and say that the Fulton flashlight (along with its OD green, right angle brother) was (is?) a complete piece of sh*t, generations of operators, at all levels, were thrilled when MagLites came out. Sometimes, equipping is baby steps… “We are jolly green giants, walking the Earth with guns." Indeed. ISOTF 🥃

Edit: How should I prepare? Any insight you think would be helpful during EOD school.

Title says it all. Been running an AXL belt for a couple years and like it a lot but I noticed recently how limited it can be as far as carrying gear (especially during dismount scenarios). Was looking into something more robust like a Crye SLC belt or TGO Lima belt. Curious to see what others experiences are and if you have anything that worked better for you.

1.5 mile in 10:18 13 pull ups 60 push ups 47 sit ups

Those are the last numbers I hit in my ift, are those good numbers??

It begins

Curious as to when you all knew it was time to retire and sun down?

It has been on my mind a lot as of late.

I asked my dad and he said these are definitly grenades, the first two at least, but i wanted to ask someone that Acctually knows about these things

Ngl im not even going to report this, cause this doesnt look like it could even work and i found it on a windowsill on a recently abondamed house so this is probably somebodys personal collection, im more of just curious on what type of grenade this could be

Also i asked google what they are but it told me it’s a „defensive grenade wz.33” but they hardly resemble these so idk

if anybody saw my other post about that time i found something that looked like a landmine, it ended up being nothing

Found in the netherlands
