Dear Half-Mast,
In PS 700 (Mar 11), you said in the article “What Every CBRN Room
Needs” that CBRN specialists should keep two quick-doff hoods on hand
per Soldier. I think only one hood is needed per M40/M42 mask, especially
since the hood isn’t needed when worn with JSLIST. Am I wrong?
MAJ K.G.
Dear Major K.G.,
No, we were wrong. According to the M40/M42’s TM 3-4240-346-23&P, the
quick- doff hood is an AAL item for the M40 mask. That means no hood is required
when you turn in the M40 and you don’t need to keep the hood if you’re using
JSLIST. But for the M42, the hood is required and must be turned in with the M42.
So, CBRN specialists should always keep on hand one quick-doff hood per M42
mask. For the M40, they should keep on hand either one quick-doff hood or one
JSLIST. It’s a good idea for CBRN specialists to store the hoods
in the CBRN room when they’re not needed.
M
echanics, use battery box liner
for absorbing battery acid in your
construction
equipment’s
battery
box. Matter of fact, the liner not only
absorbs acid, but neutralizes it as well.
Get a roll of ¼-in thick liner with
NSN 6160-01-389-1966. Cut it to the
dimensions you need to line the
battery box. This NSN brings a 100-ft
roll of liner. That’s enough to take care
of all the vehicles in your motor pool
and then some.
Dear Half-Mast,
