Re: helmet vs. headset

["Harleydog" <harleydog@sport.rr.com>]

Helmets mandatory here (as is long sleeve nomex).  Program provides helmet
(SPH-5's) and flight suits - we have recently increased our helmet supply so
that everyone has their own.  When crewmembers were sharing helmets we
issued personal head liners for the helmets .  Crewmembers may purchase
their own helmets (if they hit the lottery).
