Mary Dague sits down with me and discusses her time as an EOD technician and life after EOD. She talks about her decision to join the army and her experience in EOD school. Mary also shares her first unit assignment and the challenges she faced as the first female in the unit as well as the challenges she faced in a male-dominated field, including communication barriers and preconceived notions. Mary talks with me about an incident in Iraq where she was injured by an improvised explosive device (IED), losing both of her arms and her road to recovery. We discuss her time after the Army, Hollywood, and resilience.
