A good measure of help.

Dear Half-Mast.

We are confused about how to measure a soldier for JSLIST pants. Do you measure the soldier with or without boots and where do you measure to on the inseam? Also, can you order JSLIST replacement parts, like the coupling for the hood drawstring? And does a broken coupling make the jacket NMC?

SSG J.G.

Dear Sergeant J.G.,

You measure the soldier without boots. Ask the soldier to place the measuring tape along the inside of his leg as high as possible. Have the soldier stand straight up with feel together, then measure to the floor. Use Table 2-3 in TM 10-8415-220-10 find what size trousers the soldier should wear

There are no replacement parts for JSLIST. If something is damaged, the trousers or jacket is considered NMC and can be used only jot training.

I DON'T THINK I MEASURED YOUR PANTS RIGHT.

BETTER CHECK WITH HALF-MAST ON THIS!

Measure all the way to the floor with the soldier barefoot

IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFO ON USING AND TAKING CARE OF JSLIST, THERE IS A TRAINING CD AVAILABLE THAT WILL HELP.
