Whoa. Someone needs to help that boy with the suspension under that pot…

The lack of a camoflauge cover is to make him distinct from the combatants, although I personally think it’s stupid because it makes him unique, and therefore a more “worthy” target.

When he turns his head to the side, his ears are about half-covered, so I don’t necessarily think that his “suspension” (as Claymore puts it) is off by far. I think that he may just have one of those long faces (like John “Lurch” Kerry).

Well I guess that he thought it got in the way when he was talking would be my guess.

So it’s not called “suspension”? I should get detention…which wasn’t my intention…of which should get no mention…it wouldn’t be much of an invention…as it deals with anal retention standing at attention…at the GEN CON convention…

Hey, that’s my son’s battalion, he’s a Msgt in Weapons Co. 2/3. First time I’ve seen any video on his unit.

Actually, it just looks like a brand new helmet. When we got issued the new one’s with all the padding and strapping, they sat pretty high up until you either broke them in, or took some of the pads out.
