here’s an old saying that some of the best things in life are free. There’s also a
counter-saying that warns us that we get what we pay for. So, when it comes to
PS
Magazine,
which is it?
Neither, really. It’s true
PS
is free for units (and the coolest technical bulletin out
there), but that doesn’t mean nobody’s footing the printing bill. The Army picks up the
tab because it has years of hard evidence that
PS
makes a difference. We help units save
time, money and yes, even lives. Now you can’t beat that, can you?
PS
gets important info out in creative, memorable ways that pay off in the motor
pool and on the battleFeld. If replacing an M2 machine gun pin for a couple of bucks
can save replacing a $500 barrel extension, you can bet the bean-counters sit up and
take notice.
PS
keeps you in the know, so you know how to keep equipment rolling. We’ve been
rolling for more than 62 years now, and we’re sure glad you’re along for the ride.
