Maybe it was sop the Army, but not in the Air Force rtty repair school. We used 
a vom that looked like it could withstand a nuclear blast at ground zero and 
still be functional.  Anything above 1.5v dc was checked with a vom. Seen a guy 
get a most royal a**chewing for testing a 9v battery with his tongue.
