Staying on the verification track.As too many Army units discovered when they were mobilized for Afghanistan or Iraq, if your equipment has not had its required verifications, it's non-mission capable. That's the last thing a commander wants to hear when his unit is preparing to deploy. So the news won't make him happy with you. And, when you cart all your equipment over to direct support and tell them you need all these items verified yesterday, you can be sure you're out of the running in their "My Favorite My Favorite is an independent synthpop band from Long Island, New York.

If you're not sure if your equipment must be verified, look in the TMs' PMCS PMCS PMC Sierra (stock symbol) PMCS Project Management Control System PMCS partial mission-capable, supply (US DoD) PMCS Preventive Maintenance Checks & Services PMCS Professional Military Comptroller School tables. Or ask support. They will know. The hard part is not letting the verifications slip by in the rush of daily work. Here are some good ways to stay on the verification track: * Note in the REMARKS block on your DD Form 314s when the next verification is due. * In ULLS ULLS Unconditioned Local Loop Service (copper wire telephony) ULLS Unit Level Logistics System ULLS University of London Legal Series ULLS Unbundled Local Loop Service , track verifications on DA Form 5988-E. * On a large piece of cardboard, mark off columns for ID number, date serviced, next due date, status, and remarks.

A pencil of hard grease mixed with colorings, used especially for marking on glossy or glazed surfaces. to keep the board up-to-date. * Create a computer data base for tracking verifications. We told you how to do that on Page 18-19 in PS 590 (Jul 02). If you don't have that issue, see https://www.logsa.army.mil/pub/psissues/ps_596.pdf Staying on track with verifications will keep your equipment safe and accurate and will keep you popular with your commander and support.
