Not just military training videos, older ones in general are often superior to what gets made today. My favorite is probably this one on vehicle differentials:

I like this even more.

Periscope Films uploads a lot of public domain US government material, and has it decently organized. The asbestos series is also interesting, hindsight being 20-20.

Jam Handy films were amazing. You could show this to an audience who was morally opposed to learning about differentials and they’d still learn about differentials.

I've never been a car guy. While I've heard of differentials, I never understood what it was. Thanks to you posting this video, I now understand what a differential does and how it does it.

(I found playing it at 120% speed to be a good balance between comprehension and engagement)

I will never pass up an opportunity to use this joke:

Everything is a hammer, unless it's a screwdriver. Then, it's a chisel.

Not a joke and different domain, but similar structure and also noteworthy:

Everyone should meditate 2 minutes a day, unless he's busy. Then he should meditate 20.

Is the original this one?

I just downloaded (thanks to other commenter below) and would question the "use" part. What is the "peen" end used for? Having read the section on hammers I still don't know. (Just re-skimmed the section and I still don't know.)

Hitting things ;)

I dimly recall making an ashtray (hmmm, not sure that would fly these days) in high school metalwork class by beating out a piece of copper sheet with the peen until it was suitably concave.

NEETS is another to add to the list. A quite literal full stack guide to electronics from the basis of matter up.

I found the "textbook", but is there a video series associated with it?

"Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series"

Do you happen to have a link to the "Basic Hand Tools" version?

Thanks for posting the link. What a great book.

This is completely true. 18-20-year-old kids launch and arrest aircraft on a carrier while simultaneously performing an underway replenishment, and it's just another day.
