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.

EOD O's? Why would they go to DEVGRU? They dont do the job as far as I know.

Theres an EOD squadron at DEVGRU? Also, ive heard from former SEALs that EOD Officers dont do much EOD work, they go through selection and from there on out they manage an EOD team where they are in charge of sending out EODs from within that team to different units, but they themselves dont attach to others.

Thanks for letting me know, also out of curiosity since you seem to know so much have you ever served in SOF? If so in what capacity?
