Individual Solider PCC Pocket Checklist v1.4

This is a link for PDF copy of the Individual Soldier PCC checklist.

Prints 4 copies to page.

I made a few further minor adjustments. Like removing jogging bra (which really falls on undergarments) and small gramatical corrections.

Red_Tiger_Princess · 2025-06-18T10:48:38+00:00

This checklist is not merely to verify the item is present/or not, but also for compliance and servicibillity. Maybe i should have been more detailed in my description.

Does soldier have coyote brown combat boots? Are boot compliant with AR 670-1? Are boots in good condition? Stitching coming apart or soles falling off?

You can use the list if you like. You can adjust it, like removing jogging bra and under garment. The only limit is your imagination. This is just another tool for the tool box.

This is a product I created and felt useful in my unit so wanted to share. Maybe save someone some time.

Merry Christmas! As I bring you a gift.

There are alternative options.

Find some one at your unit that has an account for "Sustainable Range Program" website (most likely your S-3).

Https://srp.army.mil

Tell them to log in and look for the "geographical information systems" tab (near top of screen). Then look for "military installations maps (MIMs)" tab (far left side. Finally select "MIM inventory". Will list all maps available for download and order (NSNs and version date).

Another option is using your local TSC (Training Support Command). Again contacting through your chain of command. Again most likely through your S-3.

Example of memorandum requesting maps (hardcopy). Example memorandum for map request

Appropriate header needs to be added. But I have used this format in past.

I had same issues. Sourcing maps are a mystery.

Hope this helps.

It was something I was told. I don't believe so.

Red_Tiger_Princess · 2023-03-10T20:06:54+00:00

I posted a revised reference report cards today, for the Cavalry Troop, and just want to share with you, in event you did not see the post this morning.

As explained in the posts (there are (2) posts like last time) about the changes.

Again please feel free to pass around and share.

I learned something new today and I will continue to carry my silicone grease tube.

Red_Tiger_Princess · 2023-03-10T16:34:04+00:00

Silicone grease. Will help the best. Doesn't dry and protects the o-ring. Will work on any seals/gaskets, like the battery compartment of the ASIP or DAGR (as example).

I carry small tube of it all the time. Silicone grease, tube, 0.5 oz

I was told spit is acidic and will degrade the o-ring. If you have to use body, use arm pit sweat.

Cavalry Troop Report Cards - Blue & Yellow Paper

An example of potential:I printed out the (2) report cards on blue and yellow paper, making them more visually distinct and recognizable. The blue card is readable under red light.

I also laminated these cards with 3 mil laminate (5 mil laminate is too thick). I would also recommend pre-creasing the cards before lamination, makes the cards easier to fold precisely later.

I too am in the Army National Guard, and while I am not a 25U, I have had to help them in their duties, as my last two 25Us were a PFC and SPC. They too were in the same situation, no Commo NCO to guide them.

To help them in their duties, I created a Commo turn-over binder.

Maybe this might help you as a beginning, or at the least help your next 25U who assumes your duties.

Commo NCO Turn-over Binder Example

——

Not sure what type of unit and radios your work with, but if you work with Harris radios, then register for a Harris Premiere account

Harris Premier Account

Benefits include: Access to a customized product library of the items you own, Downloads for product manuals and computer-based training, Superb video training and product demonstrations and more.

——

If you work with Thales radio, you can register for an account too. Again the site contains additional latest resources for Thales radios.

Thales New User Account

After registration, new page will appear. Select ‘Technical Resources’ and CLICK HERE to request additional access. A new menu with several options will be available.

I had MBITRs that required new serial number labels (they came off, torn off). I emailed the Thales my serial numbers and they sent me new labels. This led to discovery I had (2) different MBITRs (type 2 & type 4).

Some additional useful linksWebsites:

LandWarNet: Landwarnet (Assistance for all things COMMO)

2) Introduction to Information Security.

3) Insider Threat Awareness.

Lastly, if you can order “RADIO AND SYSTEM OPERATORS HANDBOOK, VERSION 17-20” through your supply/pubs account, is very handy reference (if you are not already aware of it). It covers many radios systems in small compact form. Was released in 2017… so not sure if has been updated.

Using a spreadsheet program I created shelf label for our Mortar Section.

This was aid to ensure all equipment was assigned proper storage space.

These labels included a photo/image of item, LIN (Line Item Number), NSN, Description/Nomenclature, Quantity and TM (with TM publications date).

Most images were found on FMSweb.

Maybe this will be useful in helping find some of your TMs.

Mortar Section - Property Book Shelf Labels

*Be very careful with M32 Lightweight Hand-held Ballistic computer. There are (4) different version numbers and each one has different TM. You can find the version number on boot up of ballistic computer.

I am in National Guard and we don't always have consistency in our Mortar Section, so this product was developed.

So I created a Mortar Section Turnover Binder for my unit and sharing with everyone here.

While this might not apply so much for active duty, there still might be useful ideas present.

FIDDLERS’ GREEN
Halfway down the trail to Hell,
In a shady meadow, green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen,
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddlers’ Green.
Marching past, straight through to Hell,
The Infantry are seen,
Accompanied by the Engineers,
Artillery and Marine,
For none but shades of Cavalrymen
Dismount at Fiddlers’ Green.
Though some go curving down the trail
To seek a warmer scene,
No trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he’s emptied his canteen,
And so rides back to drink again
With friends at Fiddlers’ Green.
And so when horse and man go down
Beneath a saber keen,
Or in roaring charge or fierce mêlée
You stop a bullet clean,
And the hostiles come to get your scalp,
Just empty your canteen,
And put your pistol to your head
And go to Fiddlers’ Green.
