Some of what he wore at certain times in certain places would be a state secret. Sterile uniforms from other places or something. Or so I heard. Somewhere.
I also love the stories about them back then getting to choose their own guns if they wanted to. Like one of his CO's who had a .44 magnum revolver as a sidearm.
As a part time Airsofter who works a boring desk job for a 9-5 I appreciate the love and admire your knowledge. My local shop makes a point that every "real" miliary helmet, gloves ect purchase gives you the option to donate to a miliary charity. It's something, so I proudly support those charitys and get to enjoy a sport that gets me out the office and in the mud :)
@bLackstar, Can you say push-pull detail? Guard duty? Cq & cq runner? Battalion driver? Police call? KP duty? I was never bored as a 11B/grunt. I however was frequently tired and pissed off! But better pissed off than pissed on.
Met him once on a Photo Shoot I did. He was OK then, but I've heard from others that he's no longer the guy I met, I can't say one way or another, met him only once!!
i know people have a chuckle at airsofters but the little man loves it and i quite like that the little fella gets mucky, stinking dirty drive home with your windows down on a monsoon day. I'm looking forward to to his mum finally giving me permission to take him to the range, Being in England there isn't the range of weapons but you can shoot and get a cert, i think he might like to join me on a deer stalk, or grouse
when he mentioned airsofter i was like oh great another military guy that hates on airsofters but then i was like oh hey this guy is really cool gained and new perspective on this stuff
Thank you largely for not bashing airsofters. Its especially important compliments come from your level of expertise. Lots of people look up to Navy Seals so words from you impact the community greatly. Secondly as an American this is just part of the culture and what this country is about. I subscribed to your channel
Thanks Coch, best video I have seen on this subject. I see the Gel Blaster guys and girls using them. Gel blasting is the Australian version of Airsoft. I also appreciate the comment on the Airsoft guys spending and therefore creating a market. When I was wearing green, we were wearing gear that just come back from Vietnam and it was a bit primitive compared to today. Love your videos, I have been binging a few to catch up. Cheers
This made me feel better about not spending a arm and a leg on my bump helmet, I really just needed something to attach my nods and ear pro to. Still saving my money to buy a team Wendy ballistic helmet but my bump helmet will do for now. Thanks for the video👍🏻
Coch, awesome content! Can you do a vid cover battle dress uniforms that you wore throughout your career? The idea of the RAID BDU is intersting and I've seem some pictures of SEALs, especially Team 6 SEALs, wearing an all-tan uniform, circa 2001-2006. Love to hear more about that stuff. What did you wear on ops in the Balkans in the '90s? Would love to learn more about this stuff. Keep up the good work!
I like that 4th one for skateboarding and work transport. I've seen some PMC's wear it as well a modified "reinforced" bump helmet for some kind of minimal ballistics protection so that was interesting
Back in early 2000s and earlier, Australian army issued a Norotos helmetless mount for our Ninox NV monoculars, they are not bad at all compared to most similar systems, but of course you pay for it! Some boys whinged that it gave a headache pressing on their face but at least it didn’t flop about
Glad us cosplayers and airsofters helped the industry grow in some ways(Who's going to buy all that surplus Cryes now that "Desert Wars" are in full drawdown if not us?) Anyways, it's our kink, OK? Some dress up as other genders, some dress up like Civil War combatants...We dress up like you.
SF & other commandos, wore baseball hats, boonies, beanies for decades, the K-Pod didn't get used alot, but some of the first cool guy helmets were also custom CVC helmets,& then custom high cut Mich or ACHs, besides the bumps Delta popularized in the 90's,those IBH also but were low numbers tho, the need for comms,nods, IR strobe identifiers,& O2 for jumping, then ballistic for CQB is nice
I really enjoyed your video, thanks for making it. I wanted a bump helmet to hold some headphones. I was a soldier, not special forces but like you didn't want to throw all that extra money into it.
Hey Mark, for the many of us that don't have night vision, can you do a video or two on low light/ no light shooting, with a white light? Thanks and God Bless.
His comment about people who play airsoft help drive the market is perfect. I don't play airsoft but I think it's cool. If I were a vet I would be flattered. And plus most people who milsim and okay airsoft love and respect the military. Why chase them away Dakota?
So basically the helmets provide little to know protection from ballistics but are great for carrying my gear and protecting from head butting. Cool thanks! In the movie Blackhawk down unfortunately a Delta Operator gets shot in the head and I always wondered what the point of the head gear was if not to protect from bullets
Used to serve in my country's equivalent to the rangers. I've used this sort of helmet mostly for carrying night vision during night time recon when I don't need ballistic protection, but also when riding light vehicles such as snow mobiles or ATVs.
Hi Coach. Hope you are doing well. I am curious and eager to know about your wrist watch. Looks sleek and out of the world! Please shed some light on it. Thank you Coach.
Please do have a crack at it, even if it’s a slow burner in the background. We need something like this as an example, then I’m sure people would be able to create plenty of similarly inspired designs!
When you're very seasoned like Coch, he can whoop off on anyone rocking airsoft gear and duck tape. 😂🤣 The real life Chuck Norris baddass kinda guy.. 💯
I'm making a whole bunch of them rn for the airsoft community so they don't spend too much money on cheaper repro helmets. if you have and suggestions or want to tell me something in making them let me know I would love to hear suggestions
Where did you get the O2 mask clips you mounted on helm No2 in your lineup? I need some. Looks like the same mount as the ones on AF pilot helmets. ( I also have been saying what you've been saying about economies of scale with airsofters for years)
Definitely got a like with the airsoft comment, I knew exactly where you were going with it as soon as you brought up how expensive those helmets are now. -an airsoft dweeb, still.
but like he said dude, as the airsoft people pay homage to people who serve through imitation, which is the greatest form of flattery, they are basically funding research into future technologies and it's on that ground , after one too many gin and tonics, i could argue playing airsoft is a patriotic duty and everyone should do play.
"This opscore helmet is the best because it has all these tactical stuff" Me: *Laughs in Protec Bravo helmet I bought and added all the opscore accessories from ebay to for a fraction of the price*
I understand that you did serve and I thank you for that,but are people that did not have the possibility to serve but love that lifestyle. Airsoft is a good thing and disrespecting them is not ok because they respect all soldiers. This egoism of some of you is so big that it is becoming comedy. Respect but be a little bit more humble and respectful,cost nothing and your channel will grow more.
Why do military guys and cops dress and act alike, so tired of seeing them playing Alfa dog and at the same time trying to sell you a T-shit to support their greedy self.
Coches uniforms through the years would be pretty cool.
Yes

Not into airsoft but digged the respect he gave airsoft/larpers #respect subbed🇺🇸🇵🇷
Good training brah...
Real Seals are awesome and down to earth

I love seeing what the special forces guys were using in the 80's and 90', so much DIY and modified gear that led to modern standards.
I also love the stories about them back then getting to choose their own guns if they wanted to. Like one of his CO's who had a .44 magnum revolver as a sidearm.

Remember when Dakota Meyer said only us vets are allowed to wear tactical gear? Pepperidge farm remembers.
Yeah he forgot though that the revolutionary war was fought by farmers not a standing army.
Maybe he was a marine maybe he is MoH rec. Doesnt mean that dude isn't stupid piece of garbage or just easy human.

Omg
I also remember The first time I was given a bunch of glint tape
Never airsofted but gotta hand it to those guys, yall do run your gear more often than the average gun guy. Good for yall getting outside
It is wild to think a solid bump helmet can cost so much, until you have a big bump playing around

I love navy seal so much
Coch, you're a kick in the ass!!! Your videos are awesome and funny. I laugh my ass off on your comments.
Greatest video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Coch has a great personality. I wanna be like that.

Low light CQB tactics. Weapon light techniques in room clearing etc.
Hello sir. It's an honor. Would like to know what other times those are used besides what you indicated. Thank you and God bless!!!

I also used some, but unfortunately my head was too big for the Protec Fullcut.

Outstanding as always. Any tips on keeping limber/pain free for dudes over 40 would be awesome. Thanks!
Stretching! Always stretch. Yoga also works wonders if you get a foam romler for your back!
Horse balm. The stuff works amazing.
What about a vid on Friendly Forces Identifiers?
im getting good vibes from this guy
how about gear for people today, with things being so crazy? I am not a prepper. But things do not look good
Whats your favorite zero distance for your ar15?
Cool knives. Don't encourage the habits lol! My FAST is nice, but I need to get a Bump finally
Don't know why but i preferer Bumps over ballistic helmets in any situation
Check out Hard Head Veterans. Their helmets are much cheaper and have all the bells and whistles.
also made in china :(
Gross
we were using Pro Trek helmets on my BSL Cse in 1995 100% better than wearing your Kevlar for Jumping
does anybody have any experience mounting the Team Wendy style BOA system to a Protec?
Great short video.
Night shoot video comparing flash from Surefire RC2 with deadair Sandman S ?
Any possibility that arch rail mounts on protec?

The Ops-Core comes in a plastic version which is a lot cheaper

Holy crap, you found an IBH in the bin?!
Almost makes you wish everyone knew their stuff, damn
this helps bump firing
could you guys do one about plate carriers
Already made. Check his videos.
Or your complet gear which you used in some periods when you were deployed.

Pro-Tec and replica helmets are nice bump helmets on a budget. 😁
Thnxs
What are "nods"?
Night vision optical device
Gonna start playing airsoft again, not for the looks but just for the fun... And well where I live were not allowed to have real guns lol
What was your rate in the Navy?
It was BMF
If memory serves he was a photographers mate.
Now if only the price of NODs ever goes down so I don't have to mortgage my soul. Make it happen airsofters!
For reals 😂
I heard they're not ballistic
Steel pot in training and then Gen 1 Kevlar. Those SUCKED.
Our military service men and women get paid less than those working in tech. Explain that one to me.
Noice!!
Dive knives
Pro tech missed out on a huge military contract. Bummer.
Shots fired….
Johnny Dong out of the gun
I wear em playing ps5 cod
I'll give that a big 4-10 over under 👍
Just bought a grade a Chineseium helmet that claims to be ballistic I don’t trust my life with it so ima use it as a bump helmet
maybe gloves next???
Buy Military Issue it actualy works and costs less

if theres any who wants a f airfost guy who wants a free clone of a trijicon pistol sight, i have one that wont hold zero on my actual rifle
Even the unbranded sight for airsoft stuff in my country is pretty expensive. *sighs*
Hell, I’m a man! I will spend $6-800 on a bump helmet…….if I know my wife won’t find out!!!
