Thanks for the idea Pat. I've heard of these guys before (for the civilian side) and I went to the website. They have a mod for military headsets, but the problem is that I don't know if it's approved on the Navy side. They have a list of parts that are approved (for gear inspections), such as new ear seals from oregon aero and gel headliners from them as well. I'll probably get some earseals in the next week.
The other issue I found odd was that they have a "remark" about one is for civilian radios and one is for military radios. I don't really know what that means...if they are referring to the dual jacks for the civvie side that you normally plug into or what. I don't know what "military radios" means, just because the different platforms have different ways of connecting into the ICS. Anyway, thanks, and I'll have to go ask the PR on Tuesday.
