Navy EOD: A Blast Through The Years
Jerome Mapp wrote a nice piece about the Navy Memorial's event "Navy EOD, Then and Now," for which I served as a panelist. Jerome shares his own experience of working with EOD Technicians. The article can be found in its entirety here: "Navy EOD: A Blast Through The Years."

The Navy Frogmen on Navy TV
Check out this old UDT recruiting film, on NavyTV.
From the website, "Made in 1957, this Navy recruiting film showcases the precursors to today's Navy SEALs, the UDTs or Underwater Demolition Teams. UDTs conducted beach reconnaissance, cable and net cutting and explosive destruction of underwater obstacles."

Navy EOD, Then and Now
On the Navy's birthday, October 13, Stephen Phillips will join the panel at the Navy Memorial Event, Navy EOD Then and Now.
From the Navy Memorial website:
"The Hurt Locker gave the public an intimate look at the Army's bomb disposal experts, but few know that the Navy has a long history of defusing mines at sea and bombs ashore for the fleet and Marines.
Join the Navy Memorial and Jones International University® as we host a panel of Navy EOD veterans past and present sharing the stories and challenges faced by today's Navy EOD professionals, as well as the legacy and lessons of their predecessors, Navy frogmen and UDTs."
