The Army’s Army’s Preventive Maintenance Magazine, known as PS Magazine, is shutting down this fall. Due to budget cuts, the magazine that had scaled down over the last several years will shutter. PS’ great strength was in making maintenance accessible to every Soldier in the Army.
Old Platoon Sergeant to new Platoon Leader (me): "Oh, one last thing sir," handing me a brand new issue of PS Magazine, "this is the Army's version of Playboy. Never leave home without it." And I didn't for the next three decades. Along with pictures and guidance of how to fix anything, articles covered a myriad of things that needed TLC at almost all levels of command - supply, property books, security, safety (oh the safety stuff!), et al. "Never leave home without" is sound guidance and hopefully someone in charge of appropriate "money bag" understands the wisdom in that guidance. "Special tools anyone? Especially those that come in handy in field expedients?"
