In 1982 on border duty when out with the Gardai was the respirator carried in the left hand pouch and did we carry helmets. I should remember but I drank a lot in those days.

The respirator was normally carried in the left hand pouch, or in the kidney pouches. To answer the second question , No i dont ever remember wearing a helmet on the border.certainly not the old steel one anyway.(replaced in 85 )I wasent up on border duty until around 85- 86 so i dont know how accurate this reply is. OkPress Corp-"Say General the Folks back home would sure like to know where you got that pearl handled revolver?
Patton-" P-P- Pearl? ITS IVORY-only a cheap New Orleans Pimp would use a PEARL handled revolver

Originally posted by BarrySome units still have stocks of them, for the unlikely event that the full establishment strength suddenly turns up out of the blue, because not enough modern helmets have been issued to the unit

That old style helmet,according to The cadre on my Pots course is actually contrary to H&S,and should be disposed of. Most units have dumped theirs. Candidates on that course who arrived with the steel helmet were directed towards the skip.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
