Which raises the question--why didn't they
have some regular helmet covers? I know if I had to paint my Kevlar baby blue,
I'd take a standard cover with me.

[Tomb]: Yeah, I thought that myself.
They're Canadian, they probably had the helmet covers (all 16 of them)
deployed to another portion of our forces that needed green helmets.... or
maybe there was a kit restriction in effect for some odd reason.:(

That wasn't what started me...their 81mm unit was due to rotate home "in a few
weeks" so had **already** shipped their tubes and couldn't support their
infantry.
