As a soldier, you know
the weather is always
doing something—always
doing something to your
equipment!
A piece of Army equip-
ment is called on to work
at both ends of the extreme
reaches of weather and in
the middle, too.
It’s not too much of an
exaggeration to say that, as
Mark Twain might’ve said,
“136 different kinds of
weather” can pound on
your equipment.
Can your equipment
take that pounding? It can
if you do preventive main-
tenance for harsh condi-
tions like your TMs tell
you.
PM for temperatures
that hover above 100°F
will not do the job when a
thermometer reads zero.
Preventive maintenance
done on equipment when it
hasn’t rained for a month
will not do the job during a
week-long monsoon.
Match your PM to the
weather. Extreme weather
takes extreme PM.
It’s a Stormy Life
always attending
strictly to
business; always
getting up new
designs and trying
them on people
[and equipment]
to see how they
will go.
in the spring I
have counted
one hundred and
thirty-six
different
kinds of weather
inside of twenty-
four hours.
The weather
is always doing
something…
But it gets through
more business in
spring
than in any
other season.
