Hi Gabriel, this would depend where you are posted. However if you are posted in an EOD regiment for example, once you are a qualified ammunition technician you will go on explosive ordnance disposal courses once you are at your unit so you can become part of a team who can be called out to any EOD tasks. You will also be responsible for checking all the EOD equipment everyday. You may also be involved in the inspection, repair and movement of ammunition. You may also get the opportunity to oversee live firings of ammunition and may be involved in demolitions of ammunition. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Hi Abi, thanks for the reply. If an AT isn't posted to an EOD regiment what other roles would they fulfil?

You could be posted to an ammunition depot, at a posting like this you could be involved in inspecting and storing ammunition. You could also go straight into a teaching role, helping the next aspiring ammunition technician through there course. You can also work in a weapons intelligence specialist unit, where you will inspect improvised weaponsintelligence against any threats from an enemy. Another role as an ammo tech is an attachment to infantry or artillery on deployments where you will oversee the correct storage and movement of munitions.

Do you get a choice of posting when you leave phase 2? Could I go straight to say 321 Eod Sqn for example or would i need to spend time in depot?

You'll put in a posting preference and if there's space you hopefully will get your option
