^ Differences...?
Some of the very first manuals published under the new format may not have
all the fine features you'll find in the latest RP&STL's. That's 'cause some TM's
had to go to press before all the latest improvements had jelled. But, eventually,
all new repair parts manuals will sport the new, easy-to-use format.


The eir) latest RP&STL's use a unit-of-measure (U/M
column in place of the unit-of-issue column used in older
manuals, and early type RP&STL's. The "unit of measure" --
is the unit you normally use when you do a repair job. The
U/M gives the amount or quantity (each, pair, pound, ,
gallon, foot, ounce, can, etc.) your allowance is based on.
That is, a RP&STL quotes the U/M's you're authorized. And for the unit
of issue info you need for your DA Form 2765, you go to the supply publica-
tions (SM's, SC's, ML's, etc.). Then all you have to do is order the lowest
number of units of issue that'll provide the U/M's you're authorized.
In all cases, of course, it's a good idea to check for any unit of issue info
you may have on an item from your supply support outfit.

i* QQ^ -^ i^ i-5* 0D- OTHER CHANGES i*^ a `ir *- a T
In the latest RP&STL's you have fewer columns in the various sections. And,
in RP&STL's that cover all levels of maintenance (like a -25P or a -15P TM),
the separate sections for organizational level fall in a different sequence, so
they're not numbered the same as they are in organizational level RP&STL's.
And, when changes or revisions are published on a RP&STL you'll have
action codes to the left to tell you what's been updated. The codes, used
along with the FSN or nomenclature info, are:

N Points out a new item in IC- Says a change has been F Shows an FSN change.
the RP&ST. made in the item's description.

TO KNOW YOUR RP & STi
When you crack a RP&STL for the first time stop at the "Introduction" sec-
tion and read it carefully before you start thumbing through the manual. The p
section gives you complete info on the manual's format and its use.
If you have any problems or questions on a RP&STL just put in a DA Form
2028, Recommended Changes to DA Publications, or drop PS a line-Connie
and Half-Mast will be standing by to lend a hand.

Dear Half-Mast,
A deficiency is a fault,
and DA Form 2408-14 is on
uncorrected fault record -
right? So, do we or don't
we record deficiencies on
DA 2408-14?
A SFC D D S


j Dear Sergeant D.D.S.,
.1&, Except on aircraft, the
S maintenance supervisor
-CK decides when to record de-
(' ficiencies on DA 2408-14.
-, On aircraft a deficiency
red X or circled red X
is not permitted on DA
2408-14. Even if a red X
S deficiency is downgraded
to a circled red X for a
one-time flight, it stays on
DA 2408-13. And less-
i serious faults on aircraft
are transcribed to the DA
i 2408-14 only as approved
S by the CO or his desig-
nated representative.


/ NO, I PECIPE WHEN
YOU PUT UNCORRECTED
DEFICIENCY ON THAT
FOR!_


For all other equipment
the maintenance supervisor
decides which uncorrected
deficiencies (faults) will be
transcribed to DA 2408-14
and approves by signing in
column e of the form.






Even though the decision is up to the maintenance supervisor, it's generally
assumed that there's a need for entering an uncorrected fault on DA 2408-14
only on operable equipment. It's also assumed that when there's a deficiency,
steps usually will be taken immediately to correct it (and record correction on
DA 2408-3) or make out immediately a DA 2407 maintenance request to send
the equipment to support. If this is done, no entry of the fault on DA 2408-
14 is considered necessary. (The entry on DA 2404 plus a status entry on DA
2408-1 -if the equipment has one-will show the equipment has a deficiency.)
With a deficiency, the equipment is-by definition-inoperable (nonopera-
tional). Even if the deficiency status symbol is a circled X, the equipment is
inoperable unless released for continued limited operation by command
authority.
I DON'T CARE
IF IT DOES HAVE
A 0 SYMBOL THE C,
OLD MAN SAYS
NO!

So, it's normally assumed that there would be a need to enter only deficien-
cies with a circled X status symbol or less-serious faults on DA 2408-14. In fact,
if limited operation of the equipment is to be authorized, it's considered advis-
able for command to temporarily downgrade an X symbol deficiency to a
circled X deficiency (re-entering it on the next open line of DA 2408-1 and
signing the new entry) before transcribing it to DA 2408-14.






TEIASO FOR D0LAY

AUTHORIZED (EXCEPT ON AIRCRAFT)


PERMITTED (EXCEPT ON AIRCRAFT) BUT
NOT NECESSARY. EQUIPMENT WILL NOT BE I:
OPERATED WITH THIS SYMBOL ON DA 2408-14

That's the recommended procedure. But, except on aircraft, TM 38-750
doesn't specifically say that any deficiencies (X or circled X) can't be transcribed
to DA 2408-14 even though the equipment remains inoperable as long as
there's an uncorrected X deficiency on the form.

Supply types quick-like, ask for a
copy of AR 735-35-1 (Dec 67), Issue
Priority System. It's a handy, pocket-
sized guide for figurin' UND's (Urgency
of Need Designators). And, the new AR's
exempt from pubs distribution scoop
covered in DA Cir 310-51 (Nov 67), so
you can request your handy guide any-
time.

Those new C-ML-A's (Catalog-Man-
agement Data List-Army), alias "price
lists," won't be effective until 1 Aug 68,
so you can keep using the ML's you now
have until you get the new type. There
may be about 20 volumes in the new
C-ML-A so be sure to check to see that
you have 'em all.

If you're not sure which AG Publica-

Military Standard Engines, 10 to 20

ask support to torque those bolts to be-
tween 80 and 83 Ib-ft, not 40 to 50

If your M17 field protective mask
gives off a copper-colored substance,
don't sweat it. The discoloration is not
a defect it comes from a chemical
used by one manufacturer in compound-
ing the rubber facepiece. Just clean the
mask as often as needed, like it says in
para 35, Ch 6, TM 3-4240-202-15.
