    Infantry question...

    Do our guys wear any hearing protection in battle?

          I didn't wear them but kept them handy for stuff like shotgun breaching.

              I never used them in combat.

                              was wondering the same thing, thanks for bringing it up.

                              went shooting today without any protection O.o

                                      i thought about that, but we had already set up and were about to start shooting. Didnt wanna bother to go get some since we had started already.

                                      Does not having ears mess with anything in combat?? Because you can still hear...for the most part

                                          I started wearing mine on the last trip out, but I didn't routinely have to listen to the radio. I find hearing what's on the radio hard enough without earplugs in.

                                          Nice thing about tanks, the VIC-III helmets have an external amplifier with shut-off over a certain level.

                                              Yes, for the most part it falls on the NCO to conduct PCC and PCI checks before missions, this includes checking for eye and ear protection. As an NCO your also responsible for making sure you soldiers use it. I always wore at least one ear plug on mission and peltor in vic's and required my soldiers do the same.

                                                  There's always a smart guy (or two) per platoon who thinks that wearing plugs will prevent him from hearing the enemy sneaking up on him...

                                                      I'm covinced that some people join up just to make life hell for NCO's.
