Aviation Tools…
O
ops, we goofed. In PS 627, Page 39, we said don’t mark NATS tools. That wasn’t
quite correct and was misleading.
The purpose of that article was to
clarify that DA PAM 738-751,
TAMMS-A
, does not address mark-
ing of tools. The article was correct
in that sense, but incorrect in that we
should’ve gone a step further and
said that tool marking identification
is authorized
according to AR 385-
95, Para 2-2c.3 (e).
However, AR 385-95 does not spell out how to mark aviation tools for accounta-
bility. So unit commanders should establish detailed tool marking procedures that
will best fit each unit to prevent FOD.
wh-
what’re
you
doing?
gettin’ ready
to mark up
your tools.
are you
s’posed
to
do that?
yep! I’m
authorized by
AR 385-95.

No More Airsave Vest Aspirin
ALSE folks, on Page 38 of PS 590, we listed items for crews to carry in their airsave vest. One
of them, aspirin, NSN 6505-00-118-1948, has been replaced. NSN 6505-01-436-9606 will get
you 20 boxes of 150 individually-wrapped acetaminophen tablets.
The last
chapters
of this
communications
equipment
story have
not
been
written.
They are being lived
out on the
battlefield,
by you, the front-line
soldier, every day.
One thing we all
can be certain of:
Preventive
maintenance on
communications
equipment is
not
an option.
PM
must
be done and
done well in order to
ensure survival on the
modern battlefield.
History has shown us that,
unlike these last eight pages,
a failure to communicate is
no laughing matter.
