I only know of one EOD guy with more full time uninterrupted MIL/ DOD EOD time. His was 1956-2018ish for his total time, and developed the first rapid reaction/ quick reaction recovery team for foreign equipment and munitions. He was the recovery team leader for 35+ years and for most of it probably spent more time out of country than at his desk.
Super good guy, and the “go to” for anything, any time, anywhere. The team was phenomenal guys, and I am humbled to have known the OG crew.
Best part about them was they are truly silent professionals, not dudes doing 20 and writing books.
