oldiers have a can-do attitude.
If trouble is looming on the world horizon, and your commander asks you if
you are willing to go, chances are you’d simply say, “Yes, Sir. When?”.
If your commander asks if you are able to go to an international hot spot, you
would undoubtedly say “Yes, Sir. Where?”.
So the big questions aren’t: Are you willing or are you able?
The big question is: Are you ready? Is your moving, shooting and communi-
cating equipment ready to do the job they’ll be asked to do?
And this question won’t stand up to a ”can-do, anything is possible” answer.
This one isn’t a state of mind, it’s a state of fact. Your equipment is either ready
or it’s not ready.
That puts things squarely on your shoulders, operator. Because the only way
equipment will be able to do its job is if you do your PMCS completely, and
on time.
If PMCS is done, and done by the book, and parts are replaced on time, and
lubrication is done like the LO says, your gear will be ready. Then, when you
tell your commander you’re willing, able and ready to go—you will be.
