WOD: FELIX THE CAT
This British Army Tribute WOD is dedicated to all the British Army’s Royal Logistic Corps Explosive Ordnance Disposal operators who defused 100’s of explosive devices, saving countless lives. These 6 RLC EOD operators expended their 9 lives and paid the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan. Gaz O’Donnel G.M., Dan Shepherd G.C., Oz Schmid G.C., Dan Read Q.G.M., Brett Linley G.M., Lisa Head. The RLC EOD left Afghanistan on the 26 October 2014.
“Felix” is the unofficial mascot of British Army counter-terrorism bomb disposal. Cats have always been associated with luck, possibly due to their ‘righting reflex’ – an innate ability to always land on their feet. Felix (Latin for ‘happy’ or ‘lucky’) was the name given to the popular cartoon cat created by Otto Messmer in early 1900s America. He was a cheerful, thoughtful character who never failed to survive mayhem unscathed. These are traits much coveted by bomb disposal personnel and many bomb squads worldwide adopted Messmer’s ‘Felix the Cat’ as their symbol.
