PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE •

• •

"Success in Preventive Maintenance as in all other military fields springs from the personal interests and enthusiasm of the

commander-be that commander a corporal or a general. "The skilled gunner whose ignorance of cleaning and lubrication procedures results in an inaccurate or dead-lined gun is of little value to the fighting teom. "Maintenance skills ore obtained by experience and training. Training time must be provided for Preventive Maintenance. " .. . Command interest and responsibility, supply procedures

and basic loads, and training of users, specialists and su.pervisorshow con we tie all these into a smooth Preventive Maintenance team? How are we going to use the supplies of spare ports and tools we receive? "If there is a simple answer ... it is 'Command Responsibility and Supervision.' "

. Major General I. D. White Commanding General, 10th Corps

YOUR

letter from an anguished airman agonizes to PS as follows: "Your PS Magazine is L received on this base, but our headquarters must think it's a comic book or something because it never reaches us fellas in the sections that need it." Comic Book, indee9J let us perish that thought aborning. Or in other words, right here and now. PS is not a comic book. It only looks like one . .. because it's easier to read that way. Besides - the real reason airmen missed the last coupla issues is because Air AG authority didn't get through in time . So how's about it Army-what say we mosey over to the nearest motor pool with our already read copies of PS in our hand, and offer that friendly airman a chance to circulate all that wealth around his shop and driving departments. Good idea? This is what is known as passin' the book .
