For Master Chief Petty Officer Brian Jurgens, the first lesson about trying to become a Navy explosive ordnance disposal tech wasn’t about learning how to dive. It was about learning how to learn.
“There were no multiple-choice questions. You have to learn the gas laws, and you have to memorize them and then you have to understand why that’s important,†he said.
As the Navy’s EOD sailors move into the new domains sketched in the command’s new 2020-30 Strategic Plan, Jurgens, a 28-year Navy veteran, said he thinks that keeping a focus on learning is going to be a key.
