he heart of the matter is, equipment TMs, TBs and LOs tell you how to do PM, but only
you can submit a DA Form 2028 when you spot problems.
Now that many TMs have been revised, they look different. Instead of chapter,
paragraph and page numbers, you have work package (WP) numbers.
For some, the new TMs are complicated and not very user-friendly. Some of you complain
about seeing incorrect NSNs and part numbers. Others don’t like that the old numbering
system is gone.
Of
course,
it
will
take
some
time
to
get
used
to
the
new
style
and
format.
But
you
can,
if
you
change
the
way
you
think.
Complaining
about problems you want fixed in the manuals
doesn’t change anything. A TM change will never
happen unless you change your mind about
submitting DA Form 2028s,
Recommended Changes
to Publications and Blank Forms.
So if you have a problem with incorrect data,
or if you want to improve a procedure, go ahead
and submit your changes, recommendations, or
suggestions. And if you don’t know how, pick up a
copy of
