It was in imperfect science since what worked one time might not always work....Then again I have a story about a E-5 who always used the regulation small ruck sack that were issued, and seemed to have everything on the packing list in it. While the rest of the company seem to struggle in packing it into their large rucksacks...Oh boy.

Plugged in to the vehicle com system ( dont recall the specific box we used -standard Nato internal com/radio system equipment) .
that way we could listen to music in the headphones in the crew helmets as long as the key was set in the middle ( neutral) .
As a cmdr I got to be a dj as well. 90s techno was useful to stay up and alert on long night patrols.
