Ep. 14: MASON MCCABE - VBIED attack; EOD operators as coworkers; The EOD officer role; Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit; Life on the outside

Mason McCabe is a former Navy EOD Lieutenant who served 8 years before trying his luck on the outside. During the episode, we talked about his first IED call, surviving a VBIED attack, and why finding the people you want to work with is so important. He also discusses the role of an EOD officer, the similarities and differences between an EOD team and a Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit (MDSU) team, as well as the process of getting out of the military.

Lots of laughs and a great conversation that is entertaining, but also informative.
