Y
ou have the world’s best equipment and you’re proving it in some of the world’s
worst conditions. In the desolate, rocky mountains of Afghanistan and the barren, sandy
deserts of Iraq, both you and your equipment were given a tough job to do. And you’ve
both done it well.
But never forget that even the world’s best equipment is incapable of doing its mission
without preventive maintenance. That means tough, sweaty, elbow grease maintenance.
Sure, your time’s at a premium. When you and your equipment seem to be always on
the go, it’s easy to say you’ll take care of PM later.
Good intentions won’t remove the sand that could jam your rifle, though. It won’t
check for contaminated fluids in your HMMWV or for tire wear on your Stryker.
