How to Have Your Say
Y
our unit’s equipment isn’t the only thing that needs PM. Ever found a mistake in
an Army pub or form? Yep, we thought so.
Suppose you Fnd a part number is wrong in a particular TM. ±irst, you may jot
down a correction in your own copy. Then you might shrug off the mistake and
assume someone will Fnd the error and Fx it before the TM is revised or changed.
But imagine getting the “new and improved” TM a few years later, and seeing the
same old error in it. Gah!
Assuming someone else will Fnd or Fx a problem is usually a mistake, whether it
involves vehicle engines or ETMs.
The best Fx to help out everyone is to tell the life cycle management command
(LCMC) about any errors in its equipment pubs or forms.
±eedback doesn’t have to be just about mistakes. You can also use 2028s to make
suggestions for improvements.
±or example, if maintenance steps skip over something important, instructions
aren’t clear or you know that a procedure can be done better, easier or faster, you
should submit your ideas for consideration.
