NVG Neck Cord Dilemma
Dear MSG Half-Mast,
I ordered PN A3144306, NSN 4020-01-023-6271, to get the
neck cord for my AN/PVS-14 night vision goggles. That’s the part
number given in TM 11-5855-306-10. When the cord came, it was
6 inches shorter than the old cord. Is this the wrong cord?

S-805/G Shelter…
Night Vision Goggles…
Y
our S-805/G non-expandible shelter, NSN 5411-01-387-4894, used as part of the
AN/TRC-175B system might have a leaky door. If it does, the problem is probably
that the lip at the top of the door is not making a good seal.
Take a look at the
entrance door to your
shelter and see if it is
hanging off kilter. Some
of the doors weren’t
hung right by the manu-
facturer. Others have
started to sag.
Both problems break
the seal at the top of the
door. If you don’t have
water breaching the seal
now, you soon will.
To get the seal back,
loosen the door, straight-
en it, and screw it down
tight. Make sure the
door seals.
Is gap even all
the way across?
Loosen, straighten, and rehang
Dear Specialist L.C.N.,
You actually have two problems. First, you
have the correct part number, but the wrong NSN.
The neck cord you need for your NVG’s is PN
A3144306, NSN 4020-01-446-8097. It’s used on
the AN/PVS-7B/D, too
The second problem is your TM is not up-to-
date. TM 11-5855-306-10 (Jun 02) has the right
NSN.
manalive!
that’s a
fierce
storm out there!
nothing to
worry about—
we checked
the door seal
during PMCS
and it’s fine!
you know,
there
is
a
longer one
available.
Add checking the
door for alignment
problems to your
regular PMCS.
this neck
cord is
too
short!
