^ I'd agree with this... all NSW programs are extremely physically intense... I work with Aircrewmen who dropped from SO, SWCC, EOD, etc. and they're in very good shape... yet they weren't fit enough to make it through training.

I'm not an EOD I'm just support at a spec ops command. This is typical for the support people. The Spec Op guys do way more than that.

If you're losing weight just to meet the requirements, you have a lot of training ahead of you. EOD isn't as competitive as the SO/SB rates, but no one can just walk into it and get contracted. Plus, getting the contract is the easy part. Then you actually have to get ready for the training.
