They are approved for combat and dont invalidate your life insurance, but I don't see many 11 or 19 series CSMs not having a coronary in seeing a different helmet.Response by CW2 Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 18 at 2020 11:53 PM2020-06-18T23:53:06-04:002020-06-18T23:53:06-04:00SGM Bill Frazer6023576<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Wear is dependent on several things. Has to be approved by the service. Has to be an issue item. Unit has to approve it's wear. Example- When Gortex 1st came out, LTG said no one would wear it until it had been issued down to the units.Response by SGM Bill Frazer made Jun 19 at 2020 4:59 PM2020-06-19T16:59:55-04:002020-06-19T16:59:55-04:00CPL Private RallyPoint Member6034369<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It depends on if the commander and 1st shot allows it. It's the same as wearing plate carriers instead of the iotv. I all depends if the chain of command will allow it.Response by CPL Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 23 at 2020 1:34 AM2020-06-23T01:34:18-04:002020-06-23T01:34:18-04:002020-06-18T22:25:15-04:00
