you say there
are people on
post who can show
me what to do?
affirmative,
specialist. all
you’ve got to
do is
ask!
maybe I
can
make
it through this
after all. but…
where do I go for
info on
parts
and
repairs?
10-4,
specialist.
that’s where
direct support
comes in.
“get to know them.
they’ll do complex
repairs, plus you need
them to
headspace
your weapons and do
the annual
gauging.”
“make sure you have
the right
cleaning
material,
like clp
and other lubes…
brushes… swabs…
and pipe cleaners.”
and make sure
you have
enough
cleaners to do
the job.
“a dirty barrel is
something an inspector
will
pounce
on. you
will not pass any
inspection if your
weapons aren’t
clean.”
“inspectors
will
check the gauging.
they’ll flunk you if
you haven’t kept your
weapons gauged.”
two words,
specialist.
technical
manual.
“for every
weapon in this
arms room,
you need the
-23&P TM.”
“TMs tell you how
to
repair
weapons
and give the stock
numbers for the
parts you need.”
“in order to ace the
inspection, you also
need an
operator’s
manual
for every
weapon.”
just
make a
list and
give it to
your pubs
clerk.
he’ll do
the rest.
this is looking
better and better.
but what about
stuff
I can’t
fix?
where do I
go for help?
…and
TMs are
free.
every armorer
can get all the
TMs he or she
needs…
