nstitutional maintenance knowledge is a precious commodity—and it’s fading
fast. As the Army gets smaller, a lot of the people who have “been there, done
that” are leaving military service.
Some of them just want to leave and never look back. Their only thought as
they walk out is to keep the door from hitting their backside. They have enough
problems figuring out what to do in their new jobs. They’re not concerned
about making sure those left behind know how to get the old job done.
Then there are those who have always taken pride in taking care of others.
They made sure their people always had what they needed to do the job.
If you take pride in your job, take a second to think back to when you
were the new kid on the block. Was there someone who took the time to help
you along? What kind of soldier would you be if others hadn’t shared their
knowledge with you?
The people around you have gotten used to coming to you for answers. Take
the time before you go to make sure somebody knows the things that you’ve
learned the hard way.
Somebody helped you become a maintenance expert. Before you go, help
make somebody else an expert. It’s in your power to hand off some of your
knowledge and experience to the new kid.
Pass it on.
