Could someone tell me the correct name for this helmet

it looks like a CVC (Combat Vehicle Crewman) helmet...Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it. -
That's an odd place to put the radio handset. What's even odder is that there's one there at all what with comms running through the helmet....If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.
Nothing happens in isolation - it's called "the butterfly effect"

External comms could be down and they adjusted by throwing a manpack in there. We had to do that a couple of times in Iraq.Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.Comment

His boom mike's not hooked up or attached. You can see the wire for it on the side of his helmet. Like so many things in the Army, it's probably just broken.Originally posted by Legbreaker View PostI'm guided by the beauty of our weapons...First We Take Manhattan, Jennifer Warnes

Manpack can provide a dual net capability the vehicle isn't set up for, also.Comment
