Got my Helmet!!!
Today I woke up and drove back to Fort Indiantown Gap to go to the supply office with our supply clerk to get a helmet. I got a brand-new extra-large kevlar helmet. As it turns out it feels big, but our supply sergeant says the XL fits right and the large sits too high on my head--I wear a size 7 1/2 hat. The supply clerk put i some extra pads, so it should be fine. It certainly fits better than the old-style helmet I was borrowing.

My 1SG said "Head like Sputnick" when he heard what size needed. It's actually too big, but the large is above my ears. So it's wither the big head look or less ballistic protection.
