ost of the time, Soldiers have tried to Fnd
their own answers. They’ve looked in TMs,
called buddies in other units and surfed the
Internet. When all else fails, they give
PS
a try.
We’ve
been
answering
supply
and
maintenance questions for more than 63 years.
If we don’t already know the answer, you can bet
we have a contact who does.
But before you write us, please understand—
we aren’t mind readers!
So include as much info as possible with your
question. Tell us what equipment you’re asking
about, including the model and serial numbers.
When referencing a TM, give us the whole TM
number along with the publication date and
latest change you’re using. Believe it or not, a lot
of problems come from using out-of-date TMs.
When referencing a parts TM, include the
Item and ±igure number. List any part numbers
or NSNs given in the TM. In short, make your
question or comment as clear as possible. Don’t
leave us guessing!
Then you can
send it to us at:
half.mast@us.army.mil
or
usarmy.redstone.logsa.mbx.psmag@mail.mil
Or if you prefer buying stamps, send us the
question by snail mail at:
± ± PS±Magazine
± ± USAMC±LOGSA
± ± AMXLS-GP,±Bldg±3303
± ± Redstone±Arsenal,±AL±35898
You can also reach us by phone at DSN 645-
0959 or (256) 955-0959.
When sending an email, make sure you
provide your Frst and last name, rank, phone
number and a .mil email address. If we’re
confused about your question, that makes it
easier to contact you for clariFcation. And if
you’re asking for back issues, don’t forget to
include a complete and current mailing address
as well.
We have the
world’s
best equipment…
take care of it!
