[R-390] Soldering School

[Tisha Hayes]

Quote:

I attended the two week "High Reliability Soldering & Connections" course
at Keesler AFB in August of 1974.  That class has been as useful to me over
the last 39 years as anything I learned in the Air Force.  The lead
Instructor told our class that the soldering techniques taught in the class
reduced the weight of the solder in an ICBM by 40 pounds.  40 pounds of
extra payload capacity in an ICBM was considered priceless at that time.

"Objective considerations of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion
that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to
be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of
the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account." -- George Orwell
