Baker502 Posted October 20, 2014 Share #2 Posted October 20, 2014 Nice ACH, I'd add it to my collection any time. Good score! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1936farmall Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted October 20, 2014 I'll take better pictures Tom. I also picked up a usgi multicam cover cheap but sadly not patched. I like this place you can get covers and parts for a buck each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1936farmall Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks. That one was cheaper than a Marine Corps light weight helmet I just got. Marine helmets are rare here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatz50228 Posted October 21, 2014 Share #12 Posted October 21, 2014 Nice ACH. The Black NVG Plate means it was used either during the 05-07 OIF Rotation to SW Baghdad or to the Surge when we were located in Baghdad. Looking at the Helmet I am guessing this one was (at least last) wore during the Surge when the BCT deployed from OCT 07-NOV 08. Reason lean toward the Surge was for the O5-07 Deployment, the BCT still had OD Helmet bands as the Sage Green were not available yet. THe BCT SOP was also to have our Battle Roster Numbers on the Helmet Band. Mine was BBHA####. B (2-502 IN) B (B Co) HA (1st Two of the last name) #### (Last 4 SSN). THe SOP was changed and these were removed for the Surge Rotation. STRIKE! Wade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1936farmall Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks for the history. I love to learn the history of these helmets. Any pictures of them in use? I'll look up the Surge when I get off work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton67 Posted October 21, 2014 Share #14 Posted October 21, 2014 I like the right side up helmet better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIKyle Posted October 22, 2014 Share #16 Posted October 22, 2014 Here's one from the Surge- You should be able to see the sage green band, as well as the black NOD mount (over sprayed Tan). After this deployment actual tan mounts were issued. But those that had been with the unit awhile continued to use their old stuff until it was worn out.

Hatz50228 Posted October 24, 2014 Share #18 Posted October 24, 2014 Good eye, That is actually my CAT I Interpreter "High Tower" wearing the TriColor. It actually was not patches. We didn't have any extra patches and he wanted to wear the Black Hearts so he freehand drew them on with a sharpie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
