Y
ou’ve just returned from the F
ring
range and boy, are you tired! Before
you head off for some well-deserved
R&R, make sure you take the time
to update your DA ±orm 2408-4,
Weapon Record Data Card.
The only way to determine gun
tube life is to keep track of the
number and types of rounds F
red
from your mortars, artillery and
armor. If the data’s not up-to-date,
your gun tube could be condemned
too soon. Even worse, it might not
be condemned soon enough!
Electronic Access
Before you reach for that stubby pencil,
remember this: The DA ±orm 2408-4 is
now electronic and available on the Army
Electronic Product Support (AEPS) website.
Only deployed units that have no Internet
access are allowed to mail in their gun cards.
Active duty units with no access should
mail in their cards each April and October.
Reserve and National Guard units with no
access should mail theirs in October. Send
them to:
