Watch your feet.
There’s little room in the
turret and if you don’t
watch your feet when
you climb in and out of
the turret you can easily
damage components
like the optical display
and the gunner’s hand
station. Those are
expensive items to
repair. Use the step on
the left side of the turret
and the side of the seat
to climb in and out.
Be patient with the
FLIR.
The FLIR needs
time to cool down when
you turn it on. If you
rush the FLIR, you risk
damaging the monitor,
which is expensive to
repair. When you turn
on the FLIR, put it in
STANDBY until the FLIR
READY LIGHT comes on.
That usually takes about
±ve minutes. In the extreme
heat of Iraq, it may take
longer than ±ve minutes for
the FLIR to cool down.
Avenger Missile System…
PM with
strict, regular pm—pm
with a vengeance—can
make your missile system
the great avenger when
it’s time to shoot down
aircraft.
show you care
by following
these rules…
I’ve
decided
you
all
need
strict
pm…
…for your own
good, of course!
ma’am!
yes,
ma’am!
let’s see, we need to wait at
least 5 minutes for my flIr
to cool down, especially
since it’s so hot out here.
ouch!
watch
your
feet,
bigfoot!
you just
destroyed
my optical
display.
Avengence
ma’am!
yes,
ma’am!
