-----How to find U.S. Mil specs free
Q. In fact, I would like some help, in Thailand, it's difficult to find the MIL-STD 105E. I will appreciate if someone can tell me how can I find a copy or where to download. Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Sansanee J.- Thailand
A. I checked, and this one is available from ASSIST at astimage.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/ Just type in the spec you want, in this case "Mil-STD-105", as the 'E' is the revision.
Good luck!

Exactly, David. American shops are taxed so our government can provide this free leg up to their off-shore competitors. Why we feel it is a good idea to tax American shops to provide American military specs to their foreign competition for free is beyond me. But perhaps a beltway bandit was given a big contract to run this service as a reward for campaign donations. Who knows?
