I believe everyone here would generally agree that this is military related and tied to Quantico in some way. But once you get into the multi-connections through theory and leaps to reach Raider you lose folks. Reducing things to the simplest meaning here is the likely way to attribute as I doubt someone was leaving that many easter eggs. Probably a Marine stationed at Quantico in the 60's that wanted a cool motorcycle helmet. -

Looks like the pattern 1903. Not completely sure that's the correct designation, but it's the type that preceded the 1910 model. -

Well, this complicates my hypothesis a little bit. This uniform has cropped up. It's nearly the same, except it has an "E" instead of a "T" -

STOP! you are reading into that 67-70. His total time served was 3 years. You have no idea how long he was in Vietnam so do not say things you can not prove! Most guys did one tour of Vietnam. One tour equals one year. That is all you can say with any degree of confidence. -
