the US Coast Guards new "tactical" helmet

[MJAtl]

Nothing like advertising where your head is during "tactical operations"... I'm betting its so the captain can see where everyone is from the ship or some other "safety" concern other than ballistic protection.

The real Guard don't need no helmets

Little dude got some monster forearms though.

 

[Shovelhead]

Thats one of the reason we Submariners called them "Targets"....

 

[MNRSports]

That's just funny....

Coast guard had a loran station on Okinawa. They had a ski boat... I mean cutter. But they ate good and had beer. Don't remember them wearing sissy gear.

It would make it easy to see you bobbing up and down after you fall overboard.

Either that, or better fish bait!

Trust me, Coasties don't like it either.
