if this tm
change
had been
posted
, then you would
have zeroed me
correctly
.
ou do need to change, at least when it
comes to your TMs.
Even though the Army is putting most of
its TMs on CD-ROMs, making changes to
your remaining paper TMs is important.
The changes contain updates to mainte-
nance and repair procedures and to part
numbers and NSNs. More importantly,
changes often correct errors that have
caused accidents or damage.
Say, for instance, you have gotten M4
carbines in your unit. If you try to zero the
M4 sight like it says to zero the
M16 rifle in the M16’s -10 TM, your shoot-
ing will be off. The correct M4 zeroing
procedure was published in Change 3 to
the M16’s TM.
So, you gotta change. A TM isn’t a com-
plete, valid manual until those changes are
posted.
Here’s how to change paper TMs:
Check the change pages against the
transmittal page to make sure you’ve got
all the pages.
Replace the old pages with the change
pages.
Put the transmittal sheet at the front of
the TM so you can quickly tell what is the
last posted change.
Binders are the best way to store TMs.
They protect the TMs and make it easy to
post changes. Get a 2-in binder with NSN
Of course, when your TMs—and SCs—
go electronic, all you need to remember is
to replace the TM’s old CD-ROM with the
new updated disc. You can get a case for
storing 50 of the CDs with NSN 7045-01-
179-2980.
