The best way is to make the magazine readily available.
Order enough so every Soldier has a chance to read a
copy.
PS
doesn’t cost your unit a dime. It can be ordered
through your pubs account.
Discuss during training like Sergeant’s Time how
helpful it can be for Soldiers to look through
PS
each
month and check out any articles that have to do with
their work. It only takes minutes.
And, when
PS
articles address issues important to your
unit, copy them and hand the articles out or post them.
That can encourage Soldiers to develop the
PS
habit.
Make sure Soldiers know that
PS
is online and its
website includes a search function that will locate all the
articles for the last decade on any subject. The
PS
website
is at:
Make
PS
an education requirement at your unit. It will
make everyone’s job easier.

we here at
PS Magazine
make considerable
effort to put out the
latest
maintenance
information
each month.
PS
articles
cover everything
from new or
changing NSNs,
to updates of
TM procedures,
to suggestions
for better ways
to operate
or repair
equipment,
to warnings
about unsafe
practices.
But when
PS
writers
go to the
field each
year to talk
to their
audience—
Soldiers
who operate
and maintain
Army
equipment—
this
exchange
may ocCur…
what’s
ps magazine?
You know,
the tech
bulLetin
that uses
comics.
Oh, yeah,
I think I’ve
seen that.
That reply
is a good
indication
many
Soldiers
are
missing
out
on
information
that could
very well
help them
do their
jobs
better
and
safer.
Commanders,
warrant officers
and senior NCOs,
it’s up to
you
to
make sure the
Soldiers who
work for you at
least know
what
PS
is and
how
it
can
help
them.
