MFF ATIC gear suggestions
Nothing against the school house welcome letter, but I found the letter needs some improvement.
Garmin 401 Fortrex, you can attach it your body armor and look at while under canopy, the best feature is that you can transmit via wireless the grids of the drop zones sorta like a cloning cable.
Ops core or MSA ARC Rails for your ACH along with the ops core or MSA POM attachment straps. The school house issues the bonnet which is made of a similiar material of the ammo bandoleer. The bonnet attachs to your POM mask, but due to the cloth nature of the bandoller causes the bonnet to move under your helmet thus potentially obsuring your vision under canopy.
Lots of guys showed up with out the "rails" but ended up purchasing them by the end of the course.
Having a finger PTT is money, the school house did have a few extra to borrow, but those get issued out real fast. Some guys used the throat mikes, but those were tough to hear if the user's mike shifted which it usually did.

...keep in mind there is a USASOC directed Authorized use list that governs what you can wear when you step off the ramp.
Not all Gucci gear is approved for MFF operations, just to keep everyone out of trouble, look on the PAS/AAUL before you just assume its ok to take on a jump.
...just my two cents

Thanks for the reminder Billy (knew we should have kept you in USASFC(A)  ). We don't always do a good job of staying within the left/right limits. Then when something does happen, the Safety Nazis are crawling up everybody's a$$.
