eep a hands-off attitude when enter-
ing the Bradley’s troop compartment,
soldiers.
A loop of the 1W11 cable for the
fire suppression system hangs down
from the top of the ramp opening. It
looks so much like a handle that most
troops automatically reach up and grab
it as they duck through the opening.
Trouble is, once the cable’s been
handled a few times, the internal
wiring weakens and the connection is
broken. When that happens, the fire
extinguishers can discharge.
Being in the vehicle when the extinguishers discharge can be dangerous.
Why risk it? Keep your hands in your pockets, cross your arms, do whatever you
have to. Just keep your hands off the 1W11 cable.
Combat and Tactical Vehicles…
There goes
another
drip pan,
crushed under the
tracks or wheels
of your vehicle.
“If you’re like most
units, you go through
plastic drip pans
like
crazy.”
“Instead of getting more
of the
same old plastic
ones,
order some new,
crushproof drip pans.”
“They only cost a few
bucks each, but that
cost mounts when
you’re talking about
keeping a whole
battalion supplied.”
there’s
gotta be
some
mistake!
I know
when
I’m not
wanted…

“These drip pans are made of a special
rubber that snaps back to its original
shape
-even
after
being run over.”
Man, I
thought
there was
a
fire!
I think we
just grabbed
the 1w11 cable
one time too
many!
