g. Always do your preventive maintenance in the same order, so it gets to be a habit. Once you've had
some practice, you'll spot anything wrong in a hurry.
h. If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404. If you find something
seriously wrong, report it to organizational maintenance RIGHT NOW
