You can look at it two ways next time your NCO or other maintenance supervisor repeats words you already should have heeded, and undoubtedly know. Words like, " You shoulda read the TM" or . . "Read the TM" ... or "It's in the TM, Mastermind. Just turn the page!" You can listen like it's coming from a record that's "in the groove." Or you can listen to it with a "broken record" attitude, like the words have lost all their meaning. This results in a com-

munications gap - with immediate and sometimes explosive results. Sad as it may seem, there are some operators and organizational maintenance men who get in a bind out in the boonies when their equipment quits, and are not even aware that the trouble-shooting charts in the TM would get 'em back in business quick. What's even sadder, there's the occasional guy who doesn't even know the trouble-shooting charts exist! Frustrated indeed are the maintenance

Those code~. go in block 22 of your request, when you want to give supply support firm instruction on specific requests. You can browse' through the supply support section of the AR-so's you'll know how your requests ace filled. But, your important SOP is in the AR's paras 1, 4 and 9.

Step lively ... The circle reverse gear assembly on your 440HA road grader may need relief right now. Check out the vent hole of the relief valve. Look at it straight in the eye to see if the small hole is open.

Making Out a request for other items is covered in a flow chart in Fig 2.

THE OIC'S The DIe you use In column of your 2765 depends on where you are, and what your request covers. For example: A¢A-Says you're stateside and the request has an FSN.

Dear Hall.Mast. How can we tell which equipment items are "reportab'e" and which are not? Everybody Itos a diHerent anIWer. • AR135-8

Dear Sergeants M. L. S. and A. F. S., You might say with accuracy that there are as many lists of "reportable" equipment items as there are reports. You have to read the rules lor each report. For DA Form 2406, f'rinstance, basic rules ~ll1'ara 3-6c and Appendix C of TM 38-750_ The Appendix lists "reportable" items either with an X after the specific item or opposite the ECC and generic nomenclature. If the X is opposite the ECC and generic nomenclature, para 2a of the Appendix says "all corresponding makes and models" are reportable whether listed or not. For DA Form 2715 (unit readiness), basic rules are in para D-l, Appendix D, of AR 220-1 and its Change 1. You

Equipment reportable under AR 711-5 also. is listed in SB. 700-20. But the list is longer (including items with RICe's 1, 2, 5 and 6). Guidelines are in para 1-6f, AR 711-5. So don't try to put all your "reportabies" in 1 basket. 64

Anytime your bird is parked for servicing - for fueling, defueling, arming with rockets or ammunition, oxygen and hydraulic fluid replenishment - it's got to be grounded. That's the word in Chg 3

Here's the pin-down, lift-up and come-along deal on your M715 truck. Tow it and tiedown it with shackles,

FSN-2510-253-1098, reach;ng thru the front bumper (or under rear bumper).

To Hft, take out p;n, FSN 5315-455-

(Dec 70) to TM 55-1500-204-25/1

6884, and use it to fasten the shackles to the hubs (in pairs) onto bracket, lift, FSN

general maintenance ... para 1-52.

::Decal n eeded Here's how you order a handbrake ca ble for your M101Al or M1l6Al l,4 _ ton trailer - osk for it by FSN 2530967-6278, This's the cable listed with

Part No. 10926095 ;n Ch 1 (Mar 70), TM 9-2330-202-14P.

Haul out your TB 750-981-2 (Apr 71 ) and check Article 3-18. This tells you how to fix the latch-hinge setup on your M548 cargo carrier so the cargo door can 'f be taken off so easy. This'll help keep from busting up the hull - and it can save somebody from geHing a busted leg, too, because that door can come down with a heckuva wallop if both sides are unlatched at the some time.

The see-'em-in -the-dark pointers on all series of M27, M28 and M31 azimuth indicators can be radioactive. That's why

MWO 9-2300-395-20/1 (Mar 71 ) says to put a warning decal, FSN 1290-4535624, on the azimuth indicator so nobody will get hurt.

2990-982-9670 ;s for the back pad. Usually the pad needs replacing more often than the blanket. This goes for all M 114-series recon carriers .
