hey, mom… that
vacuum doesn’t
sound so good.
it hasn’t
worked right
in a while.
when was the
last time you
did pm on
that vacuum?
pm
? doesn’t that
stand for
night
?
yes, it does. but
pm
also stands
for
preventive
maintenance
.
that’s how the
army takes care
of equipment.
this dust
bag is
full
,
mom. I’ll
change
it.
in the army
we do regular
checks and
services
before
,
during
and
after
operations to
ensure the best
performance
and reduce the
need for buying
new equipment.
sounds
good
now.
seems like
I’ve been
doing pm
ever since
I came
home.
oh,
really?
really. sis was
having trouble
with her bike
and I fixed it.
catching
problems early
and making quick
repairs are part
of good pm.
and I turned
on the tv in my
room while I
was unpacking.
it didn’t come
on.
that’s
because
it wasn’t
plugged
in.
making sure connections
are in place before
attempting repairs is
part of good pm.
I noticed loose screws
in the dishwasher, so I
tightened them.
loose
screws on
equipment
can lead
to future
hazards, so
tightening
them is part
of good pm.
the broom and dustpan needed
a little pm, too. so I tightened
the broom handle and taped
over cracks in your dustpan.
I’ll get you a
new broom and
dustpan, mom.
replacing faulty
components is
part of good
pm, too
I just heard you
talking about good
PM, steve. we should
call you pm steve.
they’re
already
doing that
at my unit,
dad.
then come with
me, pm steve.
there’s some-
one outside
who needs
some help.
