MECHANICS ASSISTANT REMEMBERS WHAT THE MASTER
SAID: IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING YET, JUST DO AS YOUR TOLD...

Unsung heros of any army are the mechanics they keep the engines of war running.
The designers and engineers build, but its the mechanics that keep the designs running.

DON'T HAVE TO KNOW NOTHIN, JUST DO AS YOUR TOLD, AND LEARN:

I've always remembered what that old maintenance Sergeant told me:
Sergeant! if you don't know anything yet, just do as your told, and learn. And through the years, I've always passed it on...

Best wishes

Bill

ORIGINAL MEN IN BLACK:

Its the machanics that keep the engines of war running. The Tiger was prone to mechanical failure if, periodic maintenance procedures were not followed.
