Funniest event during school at Keesler was during a TACAN class. *We ran
the units on Low Power. *Only 3000 volts on the tubes. *About 3kw dummy
load. *We had a Vietnamese MAP student in the class. *Had absolutely no
common sense when it came to electricity! *When you needed to work on the
unit, you turned the dial on the front of the drawer to zero. *Open the
drawer and use a shorting bar to make sure all the caps are discharged..
The kid did not bother turning down the power, and opened the drawer and
proceeded to touch the shorting bar everywhere. *Sparks bouncing off the
12' ceiling and he never realized something was wrong or even different.
