Simunitions

I will be providing OPFOR for the ODA's during SFAUC at AT in April.

Any recommendations on protective goggles/glasses/face mask to keep from losing an eye or being popped in the trachea?

Hopefully I will get a few of them before they get me.

We will be using M-4's with the carry handles removed. Anyone got an ACOG or EO Tech I can borrow? Hell I will take a flip up rear.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about. I hear they fixed all of those overpenetration issues Simunitions used to have.

LOL, not as of my last drill. Still left a bleeding 1cm sore. I'd wear a cup for sure.

At all of the recent simunitions exercises that I have seen, the participants were wearing a huge helmet/face shield/throat guard thing. I will try to find what they are and where they can be had.

Might be difficult for me to fire my weapon wearing that thing.

All your safety gear should be provided for you!

I would highly recommend getting a flight suit though, to wear over your uniform.
