ome things in this old life you can get
away with and not get burned by your
mistake or neglect. These things make
you say,
“Whew, that was close,”
as
you wipe the sweat off your brow. For
these things, there is a margin of error.
But then there are other things for
which a mistake or neglect will bite you
like a rabid dog. Both the bite and after-
effects will have brutal consequences.
For these things, there is no margin for
error.
Some PM you can neglect or do
sloppily and get away with it. The
effects might be minimal or short-lived.
You bet on the margin for error “horse”
and that horse may win.
But then there is some PM that if not
done or not done right can be a killer for
you, your equipment and other Soldiers.
There is
no
margin of error and that
“horse” ±nishes
dead last.
If you don’t do it now, it’s time to
take PM seriously. It’s time to realize
that
preventing
a breakdown is more
important than
repairing
one.
Lives depend on equipment running
and running well. Neglect PM and
you may get by a hundred times and
only pay the piper once. But that one
payment
may
haunt
you
forever,
because the tune the piper is playing
is
Taps.
You are invited to send PS your ideas for improving maintenance
procedures, questions on maintenance and supply problems and
questions or comments on material published in PS.
