Where did you learn electronics?

[HankMcSpank]

Best thing I learnt with valve electronics was to keep one hand in your pocket!

Supposed to stop you getting killed!

That's what they taught me in the Air Force...one hand in the pocket & stay on the rubber mat.

But then they put you in a darkened radar screen room & expect you to fix an in situ module below a screen thats fairly inaccessible - as a cocky/lazy 19yrs old, when you're on bended knees, you lean in to get a place to attach the scope, you place your hand to steady yourself (normally on the chassis), your hand slips when probing the circuit test point, finger goes onto a cap with neg 500V DC on it (with vasts amounts of current delivery capability!) ouch! It...happened a lot!
