M40/M42-series protective masks ... ways to breather better.No faceforms. NBC NBC in full National Broadcasting Co. Major U.S. commercial broadcasting company. It was formed in 1926 by RCA Corp., General Electric Co. (GE), and Westinghouse and was the first U.S. company to operate a broadcast network. NCOs and operators, throw away those faceforms. They're no longer considered necessary for mask storage in the NBC room and they were never meant to go to the field. If you need something in writing on getting rid of the faceforms, see SBCCOM SBCCOM Soldier & Biological Chemical Command (US Army) Maintenance Advisory Message (MAM MAM methylazoxymethanol. ) 99-05. Your logistics assistance representative can get you a copy. Store and carry your mask properly. You'll prevent most mask damage by remembering these three don'ts: * Don't fold your mask to put it in the carrier. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] * Don't use the carrier as a pillow or seat cushion. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] * Don't put anything in the carrier besides the mask. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] If you ignore any of these don'ts, count on your mask being damaged and unable to protect you. Make sure the internal drink tube is the proper length. If it touches your face, it's too long and will irritate your face when you have to wear the mask a long time. If the drink tube is the right length, you should be able to push on top of the outlet valve cover and grasp the tube with your teeth. Your NBC NCO NCO abbr. noncommissioned officer NCO noncommissioned officer NCO n abbr (Mil) (= noncommissioned officer) → Uffz. can trim the tube to fit. Anytime you get a mask that was used by someone else, you should also get a new drink tube. You don't want someone's germs. Remember there are now two different internal drink tubes. Get the correct one. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Look for the bumps on the front and side voicemitters. The four bumps on both voicemitters should point out. The side voicemitter is often installed backwards and then your mask won't be able to protect you. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Check for the outlet valve disk. If it's missing, torn, or not seated tight in the outlet valve body, you'll have no protection. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] 'I can't hear you.' If you hear that a lot from your fellow soldiers, you need the amplifier, NSN NSN National Stock Number NSN Nokia Siemens Networks NSN National Storytelling Network NSN NATO Stock Number NSN New Substances Notification (CEPA) NSN National Student Number (NZ) NSN Never Say Never 5996-01-381-9012.
