  Interesting. It looks just like the NASA guidelines, but with military slapped all over it. I wonder which ones came first given how much aerospace is miltary work.

  There’s some terrible advice in there which is merely cargo cult thinking. The whole thing needs garbage collecting. The final straw was when I saw someone using a wire brush on a Metcal tip after reading one of these mil spec guides. I was production engineer defence sector for a few years.

    Best I saw during my apprenticeship days in the 1980s was when we had some EE degree students on work placement. We worked in R&D and all (Multibus II) boards were hand-soldered and had to be visually inspected by a supervisor before testing. One chap presented his board for checking and, after a visual and touch inspection, our supervisor said that some of the joints were a bit 'pointy' and would need fixing. So off went the student to the fab area of the workshop, the board was put in a vice and I just stopped him as he approached the bench with a sandpaper-wrapped block of wood.
