When active, I was a 05D20, Special Identification Techniques Operator (SIT OP). On graduation, I was a school trained to identify radio transmitters and to operate High Frequency Direction Finding (HFDF) AN/TRD-23 equipment.

Served in Vietnam and Thailand during the Vietnam War.

Army Reserve with a Basic Combat Training Unit, as an Assistant Drill Instructor

National Guard:
36th Airborne Brigade, HH Co., Texas National Guard, Jeep mounted, fixed radio teletype operator.

3/40th Infantry Brigade HH Co., California National Guard. M577 TOC operator.

Federal Communications Commission, Enforcement Bureau, HFDF operator, mobile DF.

I was privileged to work with law enforcement from local PD, State PD, and Federal Law Enforcement agencies, up to Secret Service.

Retired after 23 years.
 
It was. All the fun of hunting transmitters, without all the bullets, mortars, and 122mm rockets! Oh, no buried IEDs either!


Sadly, no airborne direction finding platforms.
 
Greetings.

Years ago I had a friend that graduated with an Army MOS of EOD of some kind.

I was impressed when she told me, I can now disarm anything from a 9mm round, up to the nuclear warhead on top of a Titan missile! (I think she said Titan)

She used to send me pictures of stuff she would disarm with a C4 charge. I always liked those pictures.
