At that time was I wasn't actually in an EOD slot. I worked for Foreign Science and Technology. We were in a field team call Scientific and Technology Team Europe. Our job was going all over Europe and the Middle East collecting information on different areas. My area was of course munitions and explosives. We were in the attic of the Abrams building in Frankfurt.

Of course I did a lot of work with the my EOD buddies in Germany. I was able to get the big picture of what was going on all over Europe. I was still in the Army at that time but we wore civilian clothes. It was really a neat job because there was so much information they wanted us to collect, we could write our own travel plans. You always tried to find a munitions facility near some place you wanted to visit.
