ACME A12 said:Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly for Gold or Silver is how I was taught this...
I remember after learning how to read resistor codes when I was in High School just how impressed I was that my father had made a successful career of electronics in the Air Force - ground radar/inertial navigation/avionics age - as the man is color blind! Pretty good stuff right there...
:jester:
I'm still heavily involved in electronics. From repairing old guitar tube amps, to designing and building UHF and Microwave stripline circuit boards for work. Ray, that was impressive with your Dad being color blind. Let alone the resistors, all the stinking wires the Air Force used in cannon plugs, wire wraps, etc. were all color coded. I bet your Dad would be familiar with my AFSC. It might have even been the same. If not it was close. I worked F-15 Avionics/Automatic/AGE which was 326X0. We repaired and maintained the big old McDonnell Douglas test stations that tested the "line replaceable units" off the F-15. HUDs, Computer, Microwave, Inertial guidance, etc. I'm surprised that I never crossed paths with your Dad in the 70s. Maybe I did and do not remember. As George will tell you, there was a little "fog" involved at that time in the A.F.
