EOD jobs in the Air Force have claimed the lives of 20 technicians since 2006 alone. Since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan kicked off in the early 2000s, the danger has increased. Now, instead of taking care of unexploded ordnance found on bases or blowing up a building, EOD technicians are in combat zones scouring the desert and terrain for their new enemy: improvised explosive devices. Once a rarely-heard acronym, IED is now a household name and no group is more familiar with the term than EOD technicians. Come to Bell Library and Hear about what this specialized job is all about. DATE & TIME TO BE ANNOUNCED Yes, that’s right. This bracelet is made from resistors. Come and make this awesome bracelet on Thursday, July 16th at 6:00 PM.
