Most of the problems gun card users face happen when the end item changes
ownership.
Remember, Team Armor
must
be notiFed so the Unit IdentiFer Code (UIC) can be
updated whenever your equipment is:
•
transferred
•
turned in
•
placed in storage
•
rebuilt or overhauled
The UIC user list also needs to be updated whenever there’s a change in personnel
responsible for the equipment and its gun card. If the UIC isn’t updated, there will be
problems with user access to the electronic gun card system.
In addition to having the UIC updated and user status changed, losing units must
also print a hard copy of the gun card and place it in the equipment record folder that
goes with the vehicle.
If you need to establish or update gun cards, go to the Army Electronic Product
Support (AEPS) web site:
C
rewmen, your ammo carrier is a pretty rugged vehicle. But that doesn’t mean it
can’t be damaged when you’re a little too rough with it.
Take the canister doors for
instance. Too many of you are
sitting or leaning on the doors
when they’re open. All that extra
pressure over-stresses the hinges,
leading to cracks and breaks.
Another problem comes when
it’s time to close the canister doors.
Sure, you can rear back and slam
the doors shut like you’re trying
to hit a home run. And the doors
will probably hold up under that
abuse—for a while.
But eventually, slamming the
doors will bend their latching pins.
Then you’ll have trouble getting
the doors to stay closed.
So, when using the canister
doors, don’t treat ‘em like a lounge
chair. And make sure you close
‘em Frmly, but gently.
You’ll need your AKO login
and password to access the site.
You can also login with your
common access card.
At the site, you’ll also Fnd
links to both TM 9-1000-202-14,
Evaluation of Cannon Tubes,
and
DA PAM 750-8,
The Army Main-
tenance
Management
System.
Both provide lots of info on gun
card requirements.
