The Navy has a proud tradition of emphasizing the .000000000000000001% of their branch that does manly shit like fly planes, be a SEAL, or play with explosives instead of the jobs most people end up doing. But I like Fabio's spin on it better.


How many members of their target audience, kids that have yet to enlist, know what the fuck an EOD is? And what kind of ad is "drive up next to explosives and fiddle with booby traps?" This is like an Army ad for VC tunnel clearing. The EOD is just a fine print disclaimer to dismiss accusations of poaching from the Army.

I propose they fire back with, "The Navy: You're fucked the instant a real war breaks out"
