Explosive Ordnance Disposal
Those EOD guys are funny fellows. Their task was to do controlled demolition of concrete guard towers on Guam. Their idea was to use larger C-4 charges on two of the four pillars. The intent was to flip it over so the tower's rubble would be easier to remove. That didn't happen. The tower fell straight down. The explosion also caused minor cracks on the new section of our building. The only other damage was a door was blown open by the concussion and wouldn't close after. The door to the munitions squadron commander's office. Had to call base civil engineering to fix it, and they weren't coming out on a Saturday. For those who don't know, he's EOD's commander and wasn't happy.
