Y
ou can look at it two ways the next time your NCO or maintenance supervisor
repeats words you already should have heeded.
Words like, “You shoulda read the TM” or “It’s in the TM!”
You can listen and learn.
...
Or you can listen with the same old attitude, like the words have lost their mean-
ing. That attitude leads to trouble.
How so?
Well, there are operators
and unit mechanics that get
in a bind when their equip-
ment breaks down. They
don’t know that trou-
bleshooting procedures in
the TM will get ‘em up and
running. Some don’t even
know that troubleshooting
procedures exist!
What’s more frustrating
is when support high-tails it
to a unit in trouble.
..only to
find the answer or solution
was in the –10 or –20 TM
all along. Not to mention
finding out that the operator
or mechanic doesn’t have
TMs riding with the vehicle
or nearby.
Listen, then learn.
..
and read the TMs.
