LOVE IT, so true (I AM a bomb technician for the AF) and when visitors come into our operation when we are working that is EXACTLY what we tell them.

So, do you have specific directions on how to get out of an area of a bomb that can not be turned off? Like do you have to make sure the area is clear, or just run like hell?

[Sendarie]

Procedures..........tons and tons and tons of procedures that have to be memorized since you wont exactly have time to stop and read the book.

edit: Although I have to say after doing this job for one month short of 9 years I've only had to "run" twice and those were no big deal type things just for precaution. You have to be real idiot or very very incompetent to cause something like that.
