When I left LW they sent me to Fort Polk (miserably hot) to Demolition school. I am a demolition specialist.
COOL! I love blowing stuff up. I spent 7 years as a Combat Engineer and 18 as an Artilleryman. I never got to go to demo school, though. Two of my sons are Combat Engineers as well, although one of them has transitioned to 12T, Technical Engineer. Now he does a lot of surveying and drafting.
