ULLS-G Records…
Dealing With the Unlikely
Dealing With the Unlikely
Type up a memo of
record for the CO’s signa-
ture. Explain the problem
and your creative solution.
File the signed memo with
Stevens’ 348 and add “00”
comments to her 348
(License number, changed
S to J to avoid duplication
with Smith S6789).
E
ntering a new operator’s license in ULLS-G is no cause for excitement, except
when the unexpected occurs.
Take, for example, the case when CPL Samuel Smith, SSAN xxx-xx-6789
already exists in the system. The situation becomes complicated when PFC Jamie
Stevens, SSAN xyz-xy-6789 arrives in the unit. Smith is already listed as S6789.
What do you do with Stevens? She should also be S6789, but the system won’t
allow that. What do you do?
The short answer is get creative. You can reverse the entry of the first and last
names (e.g., input last name of Jamie and first name of Stevens). Or, you can add a
different letter as the first position of the last name (e.g., change last name to be
Jstevens rather than Stevens).
Doesn’t
that make
the database
incorrect?
Not if you
follow the
rest of THE
answer.

CIPs CDs
Revisited
Page 10 of PS 609 (Aug 03) gave the
wrong phone number for the combat
identification panel (CIP) POC. Wayne
Deutscher can be reached at DSN 987-
5864 or (732) 427-5864.
M17 Decon Correction
The new Change 3 to the M17 decon's TM 3-
4230-228-23&P has an error in Fig C-22. So get
out your pencils, deconners, and make this
change. Item 2, the clamp, is no longer avail-
able separately. It comes attached to the intake
filter element, which is Item 1. Scratch out Item
2. And change the filter element's NSN to
2940-01-217-9696 and its part number to 1144.
Chamber Insert for
Transporting M16s
If your unit is deploying, you may need a way to
block your M16 rifles' ability to chamber a
round with the bolt installed in order to meet
air safety regulations. That's what a
chamber/safety flag is for. Order it with NSN
1005-00-418-8557. It costs less than 20 cents.
Container Kitchen Caution Label
There's a new caution label required for the
container kitchen, NSN 7360-01-473-3408. Your
SBCCOM logistics assistance representative
(LAR) has it. He'll attach the label inside the
winch cover. Among other things, the label
reminds you to crank the winch counterclock-
wise to lower the wings and clockwise to raise
them.
SINCGARS
Mounting Base Gasket
Order the gasket that prevents water
intrusion between the chassis and the
power supply on the SINCGARS mounting
base, MT-6353/VRC, with NSN 5330-01-
509-1340. Update your parts manuals until
they are revised.
here’s to
another
ten years
of logsa!
MKT Make-Over Revisit
On page 59 of PS 601 (Dec 02) we told you
that the MKT-I upgrade kit provides a
2KW generator and MWO 10-7360-206-
30-1 installs it. It does not. The kit provides
an outlet
and the MWO installs it, but the
generator is fielded with MBUs. MKTs
without the generator should use another
power source for the lights and fan.
