Getting the most out of JSLIST.Dear Editor, Here at the US Army Chemical School we teach soldiers the best; ways to use and take care of their joint; service lightweight integrated suit technology (JSLIST JSLIST Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology ). These are some of the JSLIST tips we give our Students: * The barrel lock on the hood drawstring is the part of JSLIST most likely to break. Once that happens, it's difficult to keep the hood tight. You can help the barrel lock last; by tieing a bow below the lock once you have the hood tight. That keeps the lock from being jerked if the drawstrings are jerked. Tieing the bow is easier if you and a friend do ii; for each other. It's also good to check if the barrel lock is damaged or missing before you go to the field. * If you have trouble securing the hook-and-pile fasteners fasteners In construction, connectors between structural members. Bolted connections are used when it is necessary to fasten two elements tightly together, especially to resist shear and bending, as in column and beam connections. for the hood, the drawstring is probably too tight. Work out the kinks in the drawstring (it's much easier if a friend helps) and get as much slack in the drawstring as possible. Then try again. It's better to secure the bottom of the hood fastener First and work your way up. That; Way you're less likely to leave gaps. Once you've secured the fastener, make sure the drawstring creates a good seal around the mask second skin before you tighten the drawstring. The drawstring should run just below the outlet; valve, lf you get; the hood too far down on the neck, you won't; have a good seal. The hood also shouldn't; go over the eye lenses. If it does, you could break the seal. You and your Friend should check each other's suits once you have your JSLIST on and strapped strapped adj.
