I’m starting NROTC in the fall and have been looking into EOD as a future career. I love diving and blowing stuff up sounds cool. I have been doing a lot of research and I have learned that it’s extremely competitive for NROTC grads to go into EOD. I read that as little as 10 NROTC grads are picked a year.
Is it really that low? I read that 25 SEALs are picked a year. I don’t want to be a SEAL I just find it hard to believe that EOD gets less that half the amount of new officers from NROTC a year than SEALs.
If it’s really that competitive what can I do to stand out. I know GPA and physicality is important.
What physical standards should I aim for? Below is where I stand now. It just helps to have a goal to strive to achieve.
-10:30 1.5 mile run time.
-60 pushups in 2 minutes
-100 sit-ups in 2 minutes (3 minute plank).
-7 minute 500 yard swim
Thanks for the assistance.
