Narrative:
On nov/wed/00, at XA00 hours I was informed by my supervisor that the grease card XXX that I accomplished had some fittings that weren't greased. I wish to report this event. Also I accomplished card, main gear truck lube and it was reported that globs of grease were on truck and brakes. There was a brake change that night that was done by another crew, and that might account for the globs of grease on the brake and truck.
