let us know. You, the user, are the only one who can tell us what you don't like about your equipment. Let us know why
you don't like the design or performance. Put it on SF 368 (Product Quality Deficiency Report). Mail it to us at:

1-6. CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL.
a.
Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel are a continuing concern. It is important that any
corrosion problems with Boot Walls be reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to
prevent the problem in future items.
b.
While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include deterioration of other materials,
such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, swelling or breaking of these materials may be a corrosion
problem.
c.
If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using Standard Form 368, Quality Deficiency Report.
Use of key words such as "corrosion," "rust," "deterioration," or "cracking" will assure that the information is identified as a
CPC problem. This form should be submitted to: Commander, U.S. Army Aviation and Troop Command, ATTN:
AMSAT-I-MDO, 4300 Goodfellow Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63120-1798
