Dear Sergeant M.B.,
Those NSNs have changed.
Order the forward rail bracket
and the forward grip/bipod with
Armorers, it may be some
time before these NSNs are
corrected in the TMs, so make
a note of the changes.
CBRN
specialists, when you get the new JCAD (joint chemical agent detector),
NSN 6665-01-552-2704, you should turn in the M22 ACADA (alarm, chemical
agent, automatic) or M43A1 chemical agent detector.
But don’t turn in the M42 alarm, NSN 6665-00-859-2215. You will need it for the
JCAD. Turn in the M42 only if it’s excess.
If you have questions, contact TACOM’s Lonnie Boyd at DSN 786-1559, (586)
282-1559, or email:
lonnie.boyd1.civ@mail.mil
Dear Half-Mast,
We tried to order the forward rail bracket, NSN 1005-01-541-2476,
and forward grip/bipod, NSN 1005-01-541-1772, for our M16s, but the
AMDF shows those NSNs as terminal items. And those are the NSNs listed
in the AAL of TM 9-1005-319-10 and the auxiliary equipment section of
the -23&P. Are those items still available?

hey,
wait a
minute!
don’t
turn in the
M42!
yeah!
he’s
gonNa
nEed
me!
I just got word
there’s a
mandatory
software upgrade to my
cryptographic device.
All I know is I
have to complete
the upgrade by
Friday!
But I have
no idea
where
to get it.
Don’t sweat it. You can find your software
upgrade at the U.S. Army Cryptographic
Modernization Device Portfolio website:
The website lets you download the
upgrade to your government computer and
from there to your cryptographic device.
The site has the Army baseline software and all the
Army-approved software upgrades for your crypto-
graphic devices. it’s the
only
place where Army users
can download the upgrades. A CAC card is required.
The website has
more
than software
upgrades. it
also
has
announcements, device
wikis, training aids,
a document library,
FAQs/lessons learned
and user forums.
You can even
email questions
and issues
to subject
matter experts
through the
website.
hey, Thanks
for the advice.
I’ve completed
the mandatory
software
upgrade
ahead
of schedule!
