So follow the rule of KYCPHOIKEEP YOUR COTTON PICKING HANDS OFF IT-and make sure it's enforced. Keeping your hands off the kit is no chicken regulation that'll get you a tour of KP duty if you break it - this one's for keeps. Foul up the kit and you and your buddy may pay for it with something of real value-like your life. EMW Phase I hits your outfit sealed and stays that way except for two setups .. . and twO only: First, and most important, when it's for real and you need what's in it for First Aid in mass casualty situations. And second , under a regular inspection program, where qualified medics will check to make sure things are shipshape and then reseal the carton. EMW Phase I is to be stored in your unit area where you can getat it real easy. It's real life insurance, so treat it

anything that can save your life. 'Nuff said? JUSt in case you've gOt some guys who thinks the box contains a hush-hush secret weapon, here's what's in the Phase I Kit: It contains four wound, two master, one fracture and twO burn packsall king-sized-ready to go to work if and when your outfit needs it. EMTU Phase I is just the first step in the Army's Emergency Medical Care Program but it's the critical step and the one figured to take over when you can expect li ttle or no direct medical help. It's your stopgap protection. What you lea rn and remember from your First Aid courses given under Training Circular Sol-together with how you take care of your Emergency Medical Treatment Unit-may someday go a long, long way in keeping you

TOO MANY FEMALES?

A pair of females, at times, can spell real tro uble. Right? 'Specially when rhey'n.: electrical termin als, supposed to get together to do a job-but, as usual , :lCC lost without a male. Like f'cinsta nce on some early mod · els of the M73 machin e g un mo unted on the M60 tank .. . w hen you go to hook up t he MG 's switch firin g h a rness to the solenoid , FSN 1005·770·3437, and find yourself staring at two female termina ls.

FLIPPIN' YOUR LID, OVER THE FEED CO VER."

GUNNER-LOOK OUT The feed cover on your M60 machine gun isn't supposed to swing open a ll the way when you [urn the latch. So p lease take it easy-don't go forcing the latch,

latch spring, and then. the cover won't stay sh ut when you start firing. On the M60 all it takes to open the feed covcr is a firm turn (back) on the latch. The lacch will let go completely and the cover wi ll raise up a good

crack. Then it's up to you to lift the cover the rest of the way to its fully opened position. It's that simple. So pass the word: Never force the latch, go easy on the

latch spring, and the feed cover wi ll stay closed during f i r i n g . . And, guess you know, when the cover is in need of repair or replacement parts, your M60 goes to Ordnance for the chores.

CUTTING CORNERS So you've been having trouble with the yoke. Your support unit can do the same the buffer retaining yoke on your M60 thing for you with the M60's you have machine gun. like f'rinstance ... the yoke has a by fo llowing these dimensionshabit of popping out of the receiver fiLE AWAY when you open the machine gun cover. SHAIIP EDGES The problem's being solved with the weapons that're coming off the production line by first making a small change in the yoke.

Or the Case of the Crazy Mixed-up Bogies. Even Perry Mason and his sidekick, Paul Drake, have thrown in the cowel

'far as trying to solve the tangled mess of bogies in storage or float pools. The problem ... unmarked bogies. Seems that many Nike sites, after setting vans up on blocks, have turned in bogies without identifying them as to which trailer or van they came frommaking for a fouled up situation. Put together bogies from seven vehicles used at your site, mix well with six bogies from each of four other sites using the same scorage area, stir, making sure 50 percent arc not identified, and you'll get a slight idea of the pot of poc-
