Dear Editor,
I repair small arms in the Ft Hood DOL. We often encounter armorers who
are having problems and are unaware of one of the best resources available:
the TACOM logistics assistance representative (LAR).
The TACOM armament LAR can answer questions about:
± •±
what is authorized to be put on weapons
± •±
what MWOs are required and how to get them done
± •±
items that are unclear or contradictory in the TMs
± •±
changes to the TMs that haven’t been published yet
± •±
why there are different NSNs for the same part
± •±
how to request or turn in weapons
Almost every post has a TACOM armament LAR who usually can answer
these types of questions immediately. The warrant officer who runs your
support shop knows who your TACOM armament LAR is, as does your small
arms DOL repairmen.

Small Arms…
Armorers, Use Your LAR
I don’t really
know if I should
be putting this
scope on you.
‘twas a long time ago,
longer now than it seems,
in a place that perhaps
you’ve seen in your dreams.
for the story that you are
about To be told,
took place in the no-pm
world of old.
now, you’ve probably wondered
where pm comes from.
if you haven’t, I’d say it was
time you begun.
so come with me on a
twisted track,
to an infamous unit known
for pm lack.
I wonder how
I could find
out for sure.
our
lars
would
know.
let’s
give ‘em
a ring!
there is no pm
here! there is
no pm in sight.
our engines lurch
and grind from
day into night.
there is no pm
here! they goof
off all day!
they blow off
pmcs while
sarge looks
the other way.
and in this unit,
everyone sees…
neglecting pm
is really quite
a breeze.
