T
his morning you hit the snooze button to get an extra 15 minutes of sleep. You saved
yourself a few extra minutes by shaving and showering in 15 minutes.
Then you found a new shortcut that saved 15 minutes on the drive to work.
And parking
under that big billboard that says, “15 minutes could save you 15 percent” saved you from
an extra 15-minute walk to the motor pool.
As you get ready to start another day, think about this:
What else could you save in just
15 minutes?
•± 15±minutes±spent±checking±tire±pressure±could±save±you±from±a±blow-out.
•± 15±minutes±spent±checking±your±engine’s±fluid±levels±could±save±you±from±a±burnt-out±
engine.
•± 15±minutes±spent±cleaning±and±lubing±your±rifle±could±save±your±weapon±from±corrosion.
•± 15±minutes±spent±wiping±off±dirty±fire±sensors±could±save±you±a±burned-out±tank.
Sure, a complete PMCS takes a lot longer than 15 minutes.
But if you break it down into
15 minute increments, you’ll be surprised how quickly it can be done.
And every single
minute is time well spent.
After all, it might take only 15 minutes to save your life or the life
of a fellow Soldier.
