Careful what you say, Jack. Your first paragraph indicates standards are
on the bottom of the totem pole. If we violate ANYTHING in Mil-PRF-55110
or Mil-PRF-31032 regardless of what the procuring activity states, we
cannot certify the boards to any of these specs WITHOUT approval from
the qualifying activity.
