Summary for mil-std 105e free access Discussion
mil-std 105e free access is the main topic of this thread. Sansanee J. from Thailand asked where to find or download the standard because it was hard to locate locally. Ted Mooney replied that it was available through ASSIST at astimage.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/ and explained that users should search for "Mil-STD-105" because the "E" is the revision. Later, Chuck Gulosh said he had trouble using the earlier link and asked for other sources to use the random sampling procedure. Ted responded that the URL changes frequently and gave an updated ASSIST link. The practical takeaway is that the standard can be found through ASSIST, but the exact web address may move over time, so searching the site directly is often necessary.
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.

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?
