CCSD Students Receive Visit from NASF EDO Attachment

CCSD Students Receive Visit from NASF EDO Attachment

Last week, continuing in their April celebration for the Month of the Military Child, presenters from NAS Fallon stopped in to share with Churchill County School District students at Lahontan Elementary School some cool things happening on base, particularly their EOD equipment. 

EOD, or Explosive Ordnance Disposal, conducts sweep operations for unexploded ordnance utilizing all-terrain vehicles and helicopters on Fallon's Range Training Complex. Students learned about some of the equipment housed on the EOD truck. 

During the visit, our students had the unique opportunity to interact with the equipment. They were able to see a bomb suit up close, which one of the presenters even put on for them. The highlight of the day was the robot demonstration, where they got to see firsthand the capabilities of EOD robots. This interactive experience made the visit truly unforgettable.

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
