Annual service kits for land-based weapons systems.


It's time It's Time was a successful political campaign run by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) under Gough Whitlam at the 1972 election in Australia. Campaigning on the perceived need for change after 23 years of conservative (Liberal Party of Australia) government, Labor put forward a  to do the annual service on a vehicle, so the motor sergeant assigns Individuals to whom property is, will, or may be transferred by conveyance, will, Descent and Distribution, or statute; assignees.

The term assigns is often found in deeds; for example, "heirs, administrators, and assigns to denote the assignable nature of
 a mechanic to do the service.

If the mechanic is lucky, the motor sergeant provides a list of the needed part numbers. If not, the mechanic will have to search the TM to see what parts need to be ordered. Then the mechanic turns the list over to the maintenance clerk to see if the parts are on hand or if they have to be ordered. That adds up to a lot of non-wrench-turning time.

, and get all the needed parts? And, since you're wishing, wouldn't it be nice if they all came together in one box?

No "forgot to order the parts", no "lost parts", no "borrowed" parts and no lost time.

Good news! Now you can get your parts that way--it's called a KIT. The kits let you order everything you need for your services, rebuild, or RESET programs with just one NSN, and get it all shipped in one box or package. Open it and put on 100% of the replacement parts. How easy is that!

How do you find these kits? That's the easiest part of all. Just go to the Land Kitting web page: http://www.dscc.dla.mil/programs/kitting
