Oct. 15, 2014 – An explosive ordnance disposal soldier removed a grenade from a man's leg in an ambulance outside of the University of Alabama Hospital here Oct. 11.
Army Staff Sgt. David Mensink from the 789th EOD Company, based at Fort Benning, Georgia, received a call from the Birmingham Police Department bomb squad around 1 a.m.
The police sought Mensink's advice to determine what kind of explosive item was stuck in the man's leg.
"From the initial X-ray, it looked like a 40mm grenade," said Mensink, a 27-year-old Iraq and Afghanistan veteran from Seale, Alabama.

Loved what they were doing and knew when they discharged it would cost plenty to get educated in exactly same, especially what they had to do and learn to in the field, still is like that!!
And they bring much more to the private sector, yet same calls them unskilled or just skilled labor, changing with the help of this Executive Administration and it's Cabinet somewhat but still with push back from the private sector, not 'highly educated'!!
