It might have been a surprise to someone, else, but for Griffith, and the rest of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) it's how a make living. they The EOD team is made up of about 15 military personnel.

The DATS was startedat Dugway and has sincebeen given approval for worldwide use. It's a mobile glove box used to drain chemical surety material from leaking munition. Once the munition is drained, the performed solely by the Navy. Because of the prime location of Dugway the EOD team has unlimited explosive restrictions. "There was one kiloton of TNT exploded just south of Simpson But e in about 1952. The purpose was to establish some sort of base line for impact of a nuclear bomb. The blast could be heard for miles." Griffith added, "Demolition is our bread and butter 1 - EOD team destroys the round.

Army reg's also pertain to pets by Lisa Simunaci Army regulations apply to everyone living on post, even dogs. It is against Army regulation to leave an animal unattended or alone in an automobile. In summer heat, the inside of a car is like a greenhouse, according to Staff Sgt: Craig Durrell, , a veterinarian here, leaving an animal locked up is not only unlawful, it's unsafe. If the temperature outside is 85 degrees, the temperature in the car is at least 30 ' degrees higher. Although humans are able to stand this temperature change, ,a dog can only handle a six de- gree difference of his body temperature. "Being in a closed automobile for any length of time is a major cause of heat problems, not only in dogs, but in young children," said Sgt 1st Class Timothy Woo, NCOIC of Fitzsimons Army Medical Center. According to Woo, heatstroke is the most common and most often fatal syndrome experienced by dogs. Physical symptoms include panting, a staring or anxious Call anywhere across fhe $9.45mdiiM . ferine first hour. expression, failure to respond to commands, warm dry skin, extremely high fever, rapid heartbeat, collapse and possible vomiting. Durrell advises, "Make fresh water. They need about twice as much water more people in more places and talk longer, depending on your calling habits. And with AT&T quality, that means clear long distance connections from anywhere to anywhere. Nothing's more essential for your mobile in the summer as they usually do." He continued, "Always provide shade. A tree doesn't work, they need direct overhead protection." Woo noted that some pets are more susceptible to heat related problems. Puppies, old dogs and obese dogs are more vulnerable. Short nose dogs, such as bull dogs, suffer more in hot weather. These dogs have greater difficulty in breathing which reduces the amount of body heat loss. Woo stresses if a dog shows any signs of heat stress, move it to a cool place and apply cold water. military lifestyle. SSgt David Dees-ARCO- mow call, 60 ' jpl 2,2.1.
