TMs
The TM for JSLIST is TM 10-8415-
220-10. If you haven't gotten a copy for
every soldier in your unit, do so. The TM
gives you help for training and gives your
unit a source for information. Also check
out TC 3-11-55,
JSLIST,
which gives
more info on taking care of and using the
suits. Your pubs clerk can order both pub-
lications for you. It's also a good idea to
get EM 0045, the CD that contains most
of the NBC TMs, including TM 10-8415-
220-10.
Washing and Wearing
It is very important to keep track
of how long you've worn the JSLIST
suit, how long it's been out of the
bag, and how many times you've
washed it. The limit for wearing the
suit is 45 days total and the limit for
washing it is 6 times. Once the suit
is taken out of its bag, it's good for
120 days max. After any of these
limits have been reached, it's good
only for training. Stencil those suits
FOR TRAINING ONLY.
The best way to keep track of washings is to use a laundry marker or indelible pen
to mark on the JSLIST care label each time you wash it. The label even has boxes
for keeping track of washings.
No Sunbathing
Don't leave the JSLIST sealed
packs in direct sun. The heat can
cause the pack to lose its vacuum.
JSLIST in puffy or soft bags is still
OK to use as long as the bag isn’t
torn (even though the TM says the
opposite). But once the pack loses
its vacuum, it becomes bulkier and
harder to store in your backpack.
