"The motto itself holds potential insensitivities and implies that our fallen and wounded EOD Warriors have somehow failed," Tillotson, who is based in Norfolk, Va. , said in a memo to the Florida school. "Throughout history many EOD techs from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, other U. S. government and civilian agencies, as well as foreign partners have lost their lives or been wounded in the line of duty. Michael Tillotson told school leaders this month that the motto could be viewed as disrespectful to the hundreds of Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians who have died in the line of duty. The school where bomb technicians from all branches of the U. S. military learn their craft has been ordered to remove the unofficial motto "Initial Success or Total Failure" from its classroom walls.Source: ABC News

Can you join the army reserve EOD or have you been on active duty?
Yes, there EOD reserve units and guard.
But you have to live near one, to commit to it.

I joined the army and had the EOD job reserved for me. I know what it is, I just want details on it. As far as I know its a pretty harda** job.
Search and destroy mines, blowing s *** up, lead with infantry and combat engineers.
