How Official is PS?
S
ome units misunderstand this statement on the PS
table of contents page: "Application of the informa-
tion is optional with the user." They think because
what they see in PS is "optional" they can ignore it.
That's a mistake! Preventive maintenance informa-
tion gets into PS only after a difficult journey through
commodity commands where the information has
been reviewed by the equipment experts. If they don't
approve an article's information, the article doesn't
make it in the magazine.
So everything you read in PS has been blessed by
the command who manages that piece of equipment.
The information in PS is "official" in the sense that it's
officially approved. PS articles often correct or clear
up information in TMs, ARs, or FMs. The information
appears first in PS because PS usually can get it to the
field faster.
You shouldn't wait until the info makes it into the
"official" publication before you act upon it. That may
be too late.
The option not to follow the instructions in PS lies
with your commander. Unless he or she says other-
wise, use the info. Your equipment will appreciate it.

but, gee,
maybe we
should wait
until it gets in
the tm before
we do it.
Yeah.
Then
it’ll
be official.
hold
it!!
don’t wait!
if the info is in
PS, it’s
official
as far as you’re
concerned!
