Just signed up and found this. I collect EOD patches and badges, The round patch with the Master EOD badge is not US Air Force. It is an unofficial patch for the US Navy Mobile Unit #2 (EOD) based out of the Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Virginia. This was made for wear on civilian clothing, not for uniform wear.

Thanks Salvage Sailor. Don't get on here much, but a lot of good information. The patch you posted is an obsolete one from EOD Group Pacific that was headquartered at West Loch, Pearl Harbor. When it moved to San Diego it changed the name to EOD Group One and the patch was dropped.

Yep, that's where I got it. West Loch. We would steam past the shattered LST hulks to the magazine piers and unload our magazines prior to movement to the drydock at Dillingham Shipyard, Sand Island.

 

Once when we were going up the Loch the Bo'sun nudges me and says, "looks like Vietnam up here"
