echanics, the countermeasure set is a hot piece of equipment when it’s turned on.
When it’s off, the set stays hot for a while, so you’ll have to wait until it cools
before putting on the cover.
Now here’s another tip to remember. Wait until the set cools down before you clean
it! Don’t put a damp cloth on a hot window pane. That’s like putting a hot glass baking
dish into cold water. All you’ll hear is a cracking sound!
If you break a pane trying to
clean off baked-on crud with a
damp rag while the set is hot,
remember it’s $36 to replace
each broken pane and it’s your
unit’s dime.
Your best bet is to clean the
set before each takeoff and
after it’s cooled down after
landing. That’s the word in Chap
4 of TM 11-5865-200-12.
So if it’s too hot to cover, it’s
too hot to clean.
ALSE techs, in PS 641 (Apr 06) we gave you the approved aircrew survival
egress knife (ASEK) NSNs for your air warrior survival gear.
Now you have another choice of knives for your gear with the new approved
universal camouflage ASEK knife system.
See ALSE message 07-05 for approved survival knives.
For information on the universal camo ASEK knife, contact John Jolly, (256)
