Yea I remember this.

As a conscript soldier, we weren't issued with counterweights, so after 10 mins of running, jumping and simply moving, the NVGs were at nose level. I couldn't see shit.

That was the other part...had to strap the helmet down tighter...so jaw ended up hurting.

We owned the night and all...but man it hurt like hell... lol
