40+ :shock: If I may ask, just about how much did that set you back (and where did you find them, if you don't mind answering that as well.)
If $400,000 a year is low-class, I'm totally f***ed.

My helmets date back to WWI / WWII / Korea / Vietnam and so on up until today , i have been collecting gear and uniforms for over 25 years so i couldn't tell you how much i have spent on them over the years.

*A whole bunch of pics*

Eh, the thread was pretty crappy anyways. I like the collection, despite my lack of appreciation for the PASGT helmet (as a whole).

the thread was me poking with my curiosity about MICH2000/ACH helmets. The only reason you feel this thread is crappy is because of the guy who started the thread. you took to about 2 or 3 guys who said "MJKramer=demon" and have made the mistake of burning your own braincells.
@Night_Stocker, if you could perhaps post ACH/MICH2000 pics, that might help save this thread that I thought had some hope since people were posting pretty good responses.

as for my idea about what to do with my ACH/MICH I have no set in stone ideas other than "I need covers for it" and "I wanna has it!" so based on this, I might catch onto an option I didnt know was out there.
being a supply guy, I know about the stuff that a petty maintainence WAARNG unit issues, we dont issue custom shit and we dont take turn-ins for it either. Also, doing a google search would tell me "what to buy" but by learning from common users who have been in the waters of ACH/MICH longer than me, maybe I will learn what few items of the mass catalog are actually practical. maybe someone had an item on their helmet that took a green and purple dump on them! I don't like shits of any color, so maybe if this thread was used right it might prevent me from being shit on.

It becomes hard to post pics of my (new replica) helm and other aquisitions without a camera. As for the thread content... A MICH is a MICH... there are three different types: the 200, 2001, and 2002. people add shit to their helmet to make it look cool or to serve a purpose.
I apologize for aiding in the diversion of the thread, but it seemed like it was already finished. I should not have problems with you as a person, but I'm experiencing trouble NOT judging people by the content of their posts and what others say about them. If you feel like you have been offended or if you have a problem with a person, you can PM them.

I would request that one takes 30 minutes to look at their previous posts and replies. If you do, the key word to keep in mind is humility and courtesy. Remember whom one represents.

Cheers.

I slapped on a NVG mount because Android had one and was all "Hey, do you want this? I'll put it on for you" and I said "Sure dude."

And then I wrote COW on the back because three or four CAGlets got them at the same time, and I didn't want to get helmets mixed up because they're a pain to adjust right.
