When I was awaiting school in the army, they issued me a complete set of aviator gear (I was going to be an aerial surveillance recon something or rather, but when I found out there was a year waiting period, I was allowed to switch MOS to MP. I turned in all my gear, shoulda kept my helmet, it seems nobody would have cared. The helmet was much like yours sheepherder
Right now I just have a left ear hearing aid, should get both (VA will pay for it, its going to that darn hospital...)
