Venom joined many other clones and was promoted to BOE and then promoted to Clone Commander of BOE. Venom lived in his own barracks which he did not like, but he was used to it. The BOE stood for Bomb Ordinance Expert, it was a very difficult job to sustain and manage and to keep because of the explosive element.
