Keep It Stowed
Stowing your helmet in the WRONG place—under the driver’s seat or hanging
from the intercom control box—is a sure way to get it banged up and sent to the
shop.
If the adjustable seat is lowered, it can crack the shell. When the turret moves, a
dangling cord can snag on the ammo racks.

AOAP…
Put the Bite on O-rings
Sampling Supplies
To mail your AOAP samples, use the leak-proof mailing kit, NSN 8125-01-193-

plastic shipping sacks.
Don’t need the mailing supplies? Use NSN 8125-01-082-9697 to get 120 sam-
pling bottles.

For
extra
protection,
stow the CVC in
a waterproof
carrying bag.
Your supply
can get you one
with NSN 8415-

82-2989.
Always disconnect the helmet and cord from
the box and stow them in a safe place when
you’re not using them. If you’re in the Bradley,
put your helmet on a shelf. The M1 has four
places where you can stow the helmet:
—The gunner hangs his CVC helmet by its chin
strap from a hook at his station. The hook has a
label, NSN 7690-01-100-8186, to show that it’s
for the helmet.
—The commander’s helmet goes on the GPS
sight.
—The loader hangs his helmet on the shoulder
guard at his station.
—The driver puts his under the steering column
or on the flat surface under the hatch lever.

place for
