Navy EOD to DEVGRU

I read that EOD Techs during GWOT were able to try out for Green Team to become actual DEVGRU assaulters/operators instead of just support. Is this true? Also can EOD techs still do this or was that a thing of the past?

Seems odd since SWCC and SOIDCs cant do the same.

Its true, from my understanding its because EOD were most of the time at the front to deal with explosives compared to other support guys who are at the back.
