So, you were WCS? Or whatever the USN called radar troops. Ya ever ground the klystron to the RSG chassis and not quite get yer finger out of the way?

My first day of training, my instructor grabs my wrist and touches the klystron. Someone says "Wouldn't you have gotten shocked, too.? " He says "Yeah...but I was ready for it." Good times.

There I was, young student in my first RAG squadron, tuning the klystron for my first time. Standing on an aluminum ladder, knees shaking. Suddenly the 2A2 or 2A5 (?) started arcing.

I was standing behind the tech rep, Bob Price, holding his shoulders, before the berylium screwdriver even hit the floor, asking "What happened?"

He probably told that story for years of TT being scared of electrons.
