ime seems to rule our lives. Hurry up and wait. Wait and then hurry up.
Well, sure, some things—like PT tests—are
supposed
to be governed by
time.
But other things should not be governed by time. Maintenance, for example.
Maintenance is done when it’s done. It’s done when the right tools are used
in the right way with the right result.
That doesn’t mean you can’t work fast. It just means you have to work smart.
Follow the procedures in your TMs and the SOPs of your unit.
Students in the hurry-up school of maintenance have to learn phrases like:
Flammable Storage Containers
54-55
GP Small Tent Pole Locking Pins

Water, Petroleum Web Sites

SOLDIER SUPPORT

The hurry-up school of maintenance is what leads to a split ring putting a big
dent in somebody’s head. It leads to trucks breaking down during a mission, or
runaway .50-cal machine guns, or generator sets that won’t start.
Never cut corners. Don’t try to save time by ignoring safety or using the
wrong tool.
No amount of
saved
time can undo an injury or death.
“I didn’t have time
to get safety
goggle
s...”
“There was nobody
around to be my
ground guide.
..”
“Sure, I should
have gotten
somebody to help
me lift it, but.
..”
