the small patch of velcro on the top of the helmet is for attaching the Firefly strobe light
Fortunately we here are so massively overstaffed with squippers that it was no skin off their noses to spend ages retrofitting this tosh to our helmets....
Just like they have nothing better to do than stitch up the left thigh pocket on our desert dpm flying troosers so it doesn't snag on the collective. We don't have.
Is there just someone higher up their food chain that just hates squippers and comes up with stupid jobs for them to do when they're working their arses off anyway? Makes you weep....
