Carl,
I don't share the Navy training background (I was an Army grunt) but I
attended (Bishop) Fenwick HS in Oak Park, IL and was "chief operator" of
the radio club from '57 till '61. A Dominican priest, Father Ed
Robinson was the trustee of the club, W9ANF, and also a physics
teacher! He's still an active ham (W5QXS) and still maintains a weekly
schedule on 20 meter SSB(sorry) with some of us former students and his
ham brothers, K0APW and W6LEJ!
The radio club proudly used a BC-610 then so hopefully I have maintained
some AM continuity in this post .... .. (:-)
Frank, W9FM

Yep, thats were I was parts of 60-61; right thru the winter I might add.
I learned that color code ditty from a Christian Brother at Bishop
Loughlin HS in Brooklyn, NY. He was the Physics instructor and ham
station trustee and gave me the Novice test.

If you attended USN ET school in Great Lakes Illinois you were also
given this memory jogger about resistor color codes and resistor
tolerances: bad boys rape our young girls but violet gives willingly,
get some now. Get some now as in Gold, Silver and No color.

ELI the ICE man was taught in the early weeks of USN ET School.
Whoever created the course material were geniuses as they could take
a backwoods farmers son and make a first rate ET out of him.
