PS, The Preventative Maintenance Monthly
ISSUE 696
NOVEMBER 2010
Maybe you’ve heard of fair weather friends, who are only
around when times are good, when they need something or
when somebody else is picking up the tab.
Fair weather fxers
are Soldiers who always take the smooth
road, doing only the preventive maintenance that’s quick and
easy, and not touching the seriously jacked-up equipment
where they might break a sweat or bust a knuckle.
Avoiding all the rough, dirty or downright miserable work
won’t win you friends in your unit, but you already know that.
If you keep pace as you should by reading
PS,
then you can
tackle some of the tougher projects.
Hearing that the PM
you
did
helped save a buddy’s life
sure beats fnding out that the PM
you
didn’t
do
caused an
accident. Plus, most of us would rather be remembered as the
go-to guru instead of the unit slacker.
The legacy you’ll leave in your unit has a lot to do with your
work ethic. If you know how to do the
tough
PM and do it
right
, you’ll earn the respect of others.
And, you gotta admit—that’s a great feeling to take home
every night.
