Default 10 Commandments for Navy Radiomen

The Ten Commandments of Electronic Safety

I. Beware of the lightning that lurketh in seemingly uncharged capacitors lest
it cause thee to bounce upon thy buttocks in an unseamanlike manner and cause
thy hair to stand on end, therby exceeding regulation length.

II. Cause thou the switch that supplieth large quantities of juice to be opened
and thusly tagged, that thy days may be long in this earthly vale.

III. Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and upon which thou
worketh are grounded and thusly tagged, lest they lift thee to radio frequency
potential and causeth thee to radiate with the angels.

IV. Tarry thou not amongst those fools that engage in intentional shocks, for
they are not long of this world and are surely unbelievers.

V. Take care thou useth the proper method when thou taketh the measure of high
voltage so thou dost not incinerate both thee and thy test equipment. For
verily, though thou hast no NSN (National Stock Number) and can be easily
surveyed, the test equipment has one, and as a consequence, bringeth much woe to
thy supply officer.

VI. Take care thou tamperest not with interlocks and safety devices, for this
incurreth the wrath of thy department head and bringeth the fury of thy
Commanding Officer on thy head.

VII. Work thou not on energized equipment without proper procedures, for if thou
dost so, thy shipmates will surely be buying beers for thy widow and consoling
her in ways not generally acceptable to thee.

VIII. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, never service equiment alone, for
electrical cooking is a slow process, and thou might sizzle in thine own fat
upon a hot circuit for hours on end before thy maker sees fit to end thy misery
and drag thee into his fold.

IX. Trifle thee not with radioactive tubes and substances lest thou commence to
glow in the dark like a lightning bug and thy wife be frustrated and have no
further use for thee except thy wages .

X. Commit thou to memory all the words of the prophets which are written down in
the 300th chapter of thy bible which is the 'Naval Ship's Technical Manual' and
giveth out with the straight dope and counseleth thee when thou hast suffered a
ream job by thy division LPO (Leading Petty Officer).
