here’s no excuse for guessing when you’re not sure about a maintenance pro-
cedure on your equipment. Maintenance by trial and error won’t cut it. It can lead
to damaged equipment, injury or worse.
Your tech manuals should be your first source of information. They’re a lot bet-
ter at explaining WHAT and HOW to care for your equipment than they used to be.
But if your TMs don’t spell it out clearly enough, check with your direct support
folks or the Logistics Assistance Office. LARs don’t have all the answers, but they
know where to get them.
If you don’t know where your nearest LAO is located, check out Appendix C of
DA
Pam 738-750 in the latest Maintenance Management UPDATE. It has a list of
all LAOs in the Army with addresses and phone numbers. Or simply go to the
Internet at
www.logsa.army.mil/directories/lse_lap
.
And don’t forget PS. MSG Half-Mast, Connie and Bonnie have been helping sol-
diers like you with equipment maintenance and supply problems for a long time.
Just send us an e-mail at
psmag@logsa.army.mil
or write to us at the address on
the next page.
So don’t ignore your maintenance responsibilities just because you’re not sure
what to do or how to do it. Help is available. But it’s up to you to ask!
