PS Magazine - TB 43-PS-687
PS, The Preventative Maintenance Monthly
ISSUE 687
FEBRUARY 2010
Well, as for the big three “Rs,” reading
only
PS magazine’s 8-page center section is
not good enough. Skimming through PS’s maintenance articles and not fully reading
them deprives you of knowledge.
Knowledge is power. And without maintenance knowledge, accidents happen
and equipment gets damaged.
Not reading PS leads to a lack of PM on your equipment. And the same
goes when you don’t read TMs. The TMs give you more knowledge to maintain
your equipment.
The next time you see a PS magazine lying around, pick it up! It contains a wealth
of info on wheeled and combat vehicles, small arms, communications, CBRN,
soldier support, aircraft, missiles, logistics management and combat engineering.
The old saying goes, “what you don’t know can’t hurt you.” But that’s wrong! If
you don’t read PS, it’s certain what you don’t read could hurt you, your equipment,
or unit readiness. So to read or not to read PS should not be the question anymore.
Read it!
