don't make this mistake

And there's a reason it's called safety wire............

Also, for those that don't know, there's a proper and an improper way to safety wire items. The improper way is to just put the wire thru the hole and twist the wires together....it works, but it's not the proper way (according to the Navy). The proper way is to run the wire thru the part being secured and around the secure part twice, then take the ends of the wire and twist them together equally so that the twists look like the twists in rope.. nice and equally spaced... 5 twists minimum. Do not just twist one wire around the other like a haywire twist. (God, who would ever have thought that being a Boatswain's Mate in the Navy would ever have civilian applications?) LOL
