Surely you can’t find fault with
THIS
movie! the sun setting behind
the decon unit was a
cinematic
masterpiece
!
My thumb
is
UP
! Way,
waay
UP!
...but I
ha ve
to go
against
you
again!
This film is a
travesty
of preventive maintenance! These guys should
be storing
scissors
and
paste
in a
kindergarten crafts
room
, not storing M12A1 decon units for the
US Army
!
Roger,
you can
hold your
thumb up ’til
it turns
blue
...
For starters,
before
storing the hoses they should
wipe off
all the grease,
clean them
with a mild detergent mixed with
hot water and then let them
air dry completely
. They should
store the hoses in the
hose compartments
on the M12’s pump
and burner units, making sure that the compartment lid on
the burner is
securely latched
to help
seal out
water. They
should store the blender hose in the
hopper
of the water tank and the
suction hose on
top
of the tank.
Finally, they should put the pump’s
cover on
to keep the hoses dry.
Well, I can see that we
are just not going to
agree
on
much
at
all
tonight! I hope you’re
not this
hard
on
the folks at
PS
Magazine
.
You’re really
nitpicking.
..
such small
things,
really!
Roger, our last film,
You
Only Trail Twice
, is the latest
entry in the James Bondo
series. Our hero, disguised as
an Army specialist, must haul a
generator
on a trailer from
Fort Dix
to
Fort Bliss
...
I’d rather eat a
month-old biscuit
than give this movie anything other
than the big ‘
thumbs down
’ that it
deserves
!
Small things to you,
maybe, but a soldier can’t look
at it like that. He has to have his
equipment ready to move,
shoot or communicate
at all times.
..
...with an
evil madman
trying to
kill him every step
of the way.
