Some Final Words
Some final words on keeping your hands warm:
•
Avoid tight-fitting sleeves. And don’t draw the
mitten shell’s strap too tight. That way you
won’t cut off blood circulation and make your
hands cold.
•
Get blood flowing to your hands by
swinging your arms in a circle.
•
Curl your fingers inside the mittens
against the palm of your hand, thumb
underneath the fingers. That helps to
increase circulation.
•
To treat frostbitten hands, warm them
next to the skin under the armpits. Seek medical
attention right away.
For example, the AMDF displays NSN 6530-00-000-0070,
cup, medicine. The first field with information is SOS.
‘What’s SOS?’ you wonder. Using the context help icon,
click on SOS and you’ll find it’s the source of supply code.
The SOS code is “S9M.” Using the context help icon you
find that S9M is the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia.
Point the context arrow
at a code or data, click
on the item,…
…and it will
display the
defining info.
