T
here was a time when resources—money, people and equipment—were used as
efficiently and completely as possible. To do less would have been wasteful. It
was said in jest, but not far from truth, that the only part of the pig not used was
the squeal.
Some people think this time has passed and that our affluence allows for waste.
But it hasn’t and it doesn’t. We are no less compelled to use our resources as effi-
ciently and completely as the soldiers who came before us were. They lived and
died by the truth of “waste not, want not.”
That’s where preventive maintenance comes in. PM lets you stretch the useful
life of trucks, tanks, howitzers, generators, radios, radars, helicopters, missiles and
thousands of other equipment systems and gear. Correct and timely application of
PM leaves your equipment ready to defend your country and keep you alive on
the battlefield.
Your equipment maintenance
manuals and other publications go
a long way in providing the infor-
mation you need to keep your gear
ready for any mission. But you’ve
got to apply that information, using
as much muscle and sweat as need-
ed, for the effort to be anything
other than eyewash and lip service.
gee, mister!

place!
