ou say your Army gear is not as
good as similar stuff you have at home?
It just doesn’t hold up as well?
That’s because your stuff doesn’t
have to put up with the rough or harsh
conditions your Army stuff does:
Bouncing and twisting over rough
terrain.
Choking dust and sticky mud.
Searing heat and bitter cold.
Hub-deep water and repeated
hosings at the wash rack.
Neglect by some operators and
repairmen.
Army engineers are doing their
best, but they can’t come up with
equipment that will take this abuse
and still do a top job without extra
attention.
Even with better lubes, stronger met-
als and rugged electronics, parts will
loosen, bend, break, leak, rot, dry out
and wear faster than seems reason-
able to you.
That’s where PM comes in. It’s
that extra lubing, cleaning and tight-
ening when conditions or operations
demand it.
This extra attention lets you find
and correct minor faults before they
become major faults.
Face it. Your Army gear gets harder
use than your personal gear. That’s
not going to change. What you can
change, is the extra care it gets—PM.
Here’s another way to think about
it: Would you stake your life—
right now—on the condition of your
equipment?
