We used to pass these guys all the time taking KBR down to BIAP from Balad! Good times lol.

Why do the people in the truck have different helmets than most infantry? I can’t tell if that’s a helmet for tank crews.

I think they have the old CVC helmet, which has built in comms that connects thru the vehicle. Most crews on tanks and other vehicles will use something like this.

That must be so fun, getting to make your own gun truck.

If you need to make a gun truck I'd imagine you're not having much fun.

Unlike making a LEGO set where the only thing you need worrying about is stepping on one.

It’s there for the Bradley’s protection.

The sun reflection on the second picture is uncanny, it really looks like an Arma one.
