PS,
The
Preventive
Maintenance
Monthly
, is an Army technical bulletin
dedicated to preventive maintenance,
maintenance and repair, and logistics
management at the feld level.
PS
reFers to the term
postscript
. The
magazine serves as a postscript to
advanced individual training (AIT) and
to other technical and administrative
publications related to maintenance,
supply and logistics.
A
fter completing PMCS on a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, a staff sergeant failed to stand
clear as the engine cover was being lowered. It struck his arm, fracturing his wrist.
A private used his bare ±ngers to lift the floor boards on a Buffalo vehicle. He lost his
grip causing the boards to slip and crush his ±ngers. The tip of one ±nger was amputated
at the hospital.
Step away from possible hazards and keep an eye on moving equipment. When moving
heavy materials, wear your gloves and be wary of loads that might shift.
Army Safe Is Army Strong
Dear Half-Mast,
This may seem trivial, but I want to know. If PS Magazine is
about preventive maintenance, why isn’t it called
PM Magazine
?
SGT W.R.L.
The pages oF
PS
are used to present up-to-date instruction and to update inFo
Found in the publications that maintenance and supply personnel use everyday. We
provide NSNs For new parts and equipment, replacement NSNs when parts change,
and correct bad NSN inFo in tech pubs. We also update changes to PMCS and
maintenance procedures.
So, you might say our magazine is the postscript that keeps PM up-to-date so
soldiers can keep on shooting, moving and communicating.
