Explosive ordnance disposal (United States Navy)

Explosive ordnance disposal is a big and important job in the United States Navy. It's all about safely getting rid of bombs, mines, and other dangerous explosives that could hurt people or damage things.

Just like how you learn to be careful with things that are sharp, hot, or can hurt you, these people in the Navy are trained to handle explosives safely. They wear special suits and use special tools to carefully handle and dispose of these dangerous items.

Sometimes, they have to go to places where bombs or mines have been left or even hidden. They use robots or other special tools to make sure it's safe before they go in.

It's a very important job because it helps keep people safe from harm.
