Did George S Patton actually say that during the pre D day address to the troops, or was it George C Scott in the movie?

Oh the joy of working with one hand behind your back,and making sure both feet are on the rubber. I recall the actual quote from James Mellon, SOGCM. "The more you get zapped in school, the less chance of you gettin killed underway in MY FLEET!" I know for a fact that they purposly put hot capacitors in the parts bins between classes when we built the superhetts. Just to teach that lesson. Sneekey Bahztids them twidgetts. It only took one example per class, I guess you were the luckey one that day.

I just have to tag this thread, Now Hear This: There are only two kinds of training, #(1)"The Navy Way" and (b) "the other way" If you dont want to do it the Navy Way, you can hit the Gangway. I seen this on the blackboard, day ONE/phase ONE, Basic Electricity @ FSS NSKW summer of 62. BTW they had a giant resistor Training aid, with removable color bands, somebody over in the PW woodshop made. Seems the Navy wanted us to know something about Lektronix, so the sent a bunch of us over to the SONAR School to audit the BE class for two weeks. we lernt about mr.B. Plus, and capacitors discharging with the help of some Pavlov re enforcement, if you know what I mean. A little zap now will prevent a Big ZAP later. The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in battle? What famous warrior said that, (A)John Wayne? (2)Jack Webb?(III) R. Lee Ermy? <---(&)all the above

George Patton was quoting a Chinese proverb that said at the last"The less you bleed in War".

Yep! it was all Subculture's fault. He started the poetry nonsense! But it was a navy thing, (does that help?)

I won't tell you the rhyme I was taught for remembering the resistor colour code, which is none too subtle!

Clunk! I dull bell ringeth! Black Bas***** ---- and then the knocker fell off! Finish it off then!

[Subculture]

That's very subtle!
