" EOD
MEN"
After the security of childhood, and
before the insecurity of second childhood, lie the EOD
MEN
EOD MEN are found
everywhere:
in bars,
behind bars, looking through bars, in trouble, in debt, on the
range, on leave, and in lust
EOD MEN come in many
varieties:
as
specialists, supervisors, and masters
They come in various
shapes, sizes, colors, creeds and assorted states of sobriety,
misery and confusion
Girls love them, mothers worry about them,
engineers hate them, the United States supports them, and non-EOD types envy
them
An
EOD MAN is innocence with a deck of
cards, happiness with a can of beer, a millionaire with his demo
pay, bravery with a laugh
(and a
belch)
and
THE
PROTECTOR
OF
AMERICA
with the latest copy of
Hustler
in his hand
The
EOD MAN is many
things:
a sly fox,
an energetic turtle,
with the
memory of an elephant,
the stamina
of a race horse,
the speed of a cheetah,
the
stubborness of a mule,
the aspirations of a
CASSANOVA
and all the tales of a
hero
When an
EOD MAN wants something, he
usually takes it.... unless it is going to cost him leave time...
then he just goes TDY
EOD MEN dislike:
answering reports, non-EOD
requests, terminees, trainees, CQ, the week before payday, and of
course,
REFRESHER
EOD MEN do like:
girls, women, ladies
of Any
repute, females, and especially members of the opposite
sex
No one can give you more vague
assumptions, based on debatable figures, taken from inconclusive
experiments, performed with instruments of problematic accuracy
than an EOD MAN
An
EOD MAN
is a magical creature
He
has been accused of having doubtful reliability, and questionable
mentality. You can take him off of your mailing list, purge him from your
floppy disc, borrow back your compact discs, put him out
of your mind, lock him out of your house....but never out of your heart
