here’s not much difference between not doing something and not doing something
right. Take filling out the DA Form 5988-E,
Equipment Maintenance and Inspection
Worksheet
, for example.
Some operators never fill out one. When asked, they say, “There’s not a thing
wrong with my vehicle!” Unfortunately, the perfect vehicle still hasn’t been invent-
ed. So little equipment faults that should have been reported turn into big ones.
Pretty soon the vehicle is NMC.
Then there are those operators who do fill out the 5988-E, but don’t do it right.
They’re not specific about a fault or don’t use the correct nomenclature from the TM
to list an item. They don’t write down the PMCS item number or circle it when the
item is a deadline fault.
When the mechanic gets the form, he can’t figure out the problem. At best, he’ll
waste time troubleshooting. At worst, the fault never gets fixed at all.
So make a point of
filling out the DA Form
5988-E
every day.
I
hate
filling
out these 5988s!
I never
know
what to
put in the
blanks.
I never fill
those out!
there’s nothing
wrong with my
bradley!
Your mechanic
-
and your vehicle
-
will thank you.
