An EOD's Job Is Never Done

EODs, explosive ordnance disposal technicans, are military experts at destroying munitions left by enemies and dealing with IEDs and other explosives. They're in harm's way all the time, as their job is to deal with large quantities of explosives and dispose of them safely. One of the regulars at LGF who goes by the name reaganite is an EOD who sent in the following report and picture from an EOD stationed in Iraq. I guess Verizon Wireless will get a commendation for failing to connect that particular call. Many IEDs are set up similar to this particular image, with a phone call used to trip the bomb. Allied convoys are using cell phone blockers in an attempt to prevent IEDs from being called in.
