on’t know what to do with your extended cold weather clothing system
(ECWCS) when you come in from the cold? Here’s one suggestion: Put them on
storage shelving, NSN 7125-00-558-0011.
But first, you will have to modify the normal shelf assembly. Then you will be
able to hang up coveralls, parkas and shirts. Place other cold weather gear, like
boots and gloves, on the shelves.
Here’s what to do:
1.
Connect a top and bottom shelf with four upright support posts, bolting the
shelves and posts together.
2.
Bolt in angles at all four outside corners of each shelf to keep it from
wobbling.
3.
Attach a reinforcing angle channel under the top shelf using the four pre-
drilled holes in
the shelf.
The reinforcing
channel becomes a
bar to hang clothes.
Use bottom shelves
to hold folded
clothing and other
cold-weather gear.
Depending on the manufacturer, the shelving organizer might vary, but you
should be able to put it together like one of these. Units come with all the
necessary hardware.
sergeant,
when it warms up,
where are we going to
store all of this
cold weather
gear?
hmmm,
i've got an
idea.

ought to do the
job!

right!
