1.
Set up the tent. It’s easier to clean that way.
2.
Dilute household chlorine bleach by mix-
ing one cup of bleach per one gallon of water.
Remember that bleach can cause skin, eye
and nose irritation. Avoid skin/eye contact.
Don’t inhale the vapors. Bleach can damage
or discolor clothing, including BDUs. So, it’s
a good idea to wear protective clothing, such
as gloves, apron, goggles or safety glasses.
3.
Brush or spray the diluted bleach on the mildew.
4.
Clean the area with a soft bristle brush until
all mildew is removed.
5.
Thoroughly rinse the cleaned area with water.
6.
Completely dry the tent before folding and
storing.
Never use chlorine bleach on
cotton duck
tents. It can weaken the fabric, reduce water
repellency and flame resistance, and remove the
color.
Dear Bonnie,
I would appreciate any
info you can provide on
where to find SUBLINs.
Thanks,
SFC T.B.
Dear SFC T.B.,
SUBLINs are found in SB 700-20, which is
available on the Logistics Support Activity’s WEB
LOG web site at:
On WEB LOG’s homepage, SB 700-20 is hyperlinked under the ITEM subtitle
of Logistics Data Management. Within SB 700-20, scroll down to “Authorized LIN
to Substitute LIN” and then search for what you need.
You’ll need a logon and password to use portions of WEB LOG like 700-20. Find
the System Access Request (SAR) hyperlink at the top center of the WEB LOG
homepage and follow its instructions.
