At one base I spent time at, there was a regular daily disposal controlled blast that caused a huge mushroom cloud. Some of these munition piles are 40-50 tons. It took the crew most of the day to emplace and rig the charges. According to some sources there was enough munitions to blow consistently every day like this for three years.

EOD job security as far as the eye can see. Long as you don't blow yourself up.
