How to Fix TM Mistakes
Awesome!
Here’s the
new TM for my rig,
finally updated
and published. Been
waitin’ a long time!
Hey,
wait a minute!
The part numbers
and NSNs in here
are
STiLL
wrong!
Yep, I made
notes in my old
TM. So they just
republished
the wrong info
all over again.
{sigh}
Sorry to hear
that, Sergeant.
Did you submit
your corrections
on a DA Form
2028?
No, I don’t
know how… it
sounds like a
big hassle;
one
more form to
fill out!
it’s not
that
bad, I promise.
Come to the office and I’ll
walk you through it online.
OK! Thanks,
Cloe!
