I trust your word that not many outside of manufacturing engineering understands what that sticker means at all.

Mil-spec …

Mil-spec has not much to do with material properties, manufacturing, dimension stuck ups and tolerances, but more like a political phrase who can be on approved vendors/supplier list and who can purchase under what conditions...basically a outspoken paperwork and just a simple overhead cost.

ITAR.........

6 Sigma......

Lean Manufacturing

5S

and so on.....

Big words that cost enormous amount of money...
