Result: During training evolutions, we were no longer allowed to wear ballistic helmets or plates until reaching the Area of Operations. Every wave we took on our craft was the same G-force trauma as a car crash on our bodies. In real life operations, we are still required to wear full ballistics throughout the entirety of the mission.
