USAF Flight Equipment: How to Wear (G-Suit, Harness, Helmet) - Combat Systems Officer VLOG -

[@alexwheeler669]

Awesome because I want to be an Air Force fighter pilot. I don’t have glasses, and I don’t need them currently, but I like to hear that I have some wiggle room with my eyesight.

[@thecombatsystemsofficercha509]

They've gotten a lot more flexible with corrective procedures being available, the biggest issue that faces most people with bad eyesight is depth perception and color vision (air force is really picky about that), best of luck!

[@alphacars796]

So you dont need to exactly have 20/20 but you need to be able to see all colors and depth precision?

[@shinobro1467]

I'm also going to do that

[@melvinelder3587]

@@alphacars796 you have to have corrected 20/20, but you can get a waiver for almost anything

I would like to ask you some questions about CSO. I got picked up for it and would like a little more information; seems like your channel is the only channel on KZbin to provide the insight in looking for. Could I email you?

[@ricodocena4824]

Is that an mbu 20 oxygen mask

[@rblxthunderbirds2698]

Yes

[@hadispets231]

Really thank you 😊☺️☺️ for the name

[@hadispets231]

I wanted to buy it thank you

[@moth_milk]

just to clear up some of the comments i’ve been seeing, you can wear glasses, contacts, you can get eye surgery (but it’s better to get the surgery while your in the air force or navy) and the helmet is the hgu-55, the oxygen mask is the mbu-20

[@vikinglythgaming7354]

How can I become an air force pilot?

[@moth_milk]

you start by going to any college for 4 years and getting a bachelors or masters degree (history, engineering, etc.) you go to flight school, go through multiple difficult tests, and hopefully get in as a pilot

[@rageking2123]

What do I need to do in order to become a pilot in the military. Thanks for your service.

[@andrewkim1309]

First you’d have to become an Airforce/Navy officer, 3 ways, OTS, ROTC with bachelors degree, or by graduating the service academy. There is a test (AFQT) with a high enough score you can compete to get a pilot slot (very selective and competitive if did not attend service academy). Once you get selected, you chose which track, or which aircraft you want to operate. You train at an AFB for 1 year and upon graduation, you’ll be flying as 2 Lt or 1 Lt

[@DeltaBeast1525simracing]

Can I fighter pilot have glasses and where does oxygen tube hook up too?

[@WilliamRichter72]

Michael Fojas im not a pilot by any means but have done plenty of research. Yes a fighter pilot can wear glasses in flight (Any Air Force pilot for that matter). The Air Force gives you badass frames to wear specifically for when you fly. In the initial screening what they will do is waiver your vision requirements and most people can get a waiver as long as you have normal color vision and a few other things. I have a mild astigmatism and myopia but I’m not letting that stop me. The frames are designed to go around the oxygen mask where the tube is hooked up to. If you’re curious, ArtCraft Optical is the company that supplies the prescription frames for pilots. I’ve been towards this goal since I was 6 and I’m not letting some blurry vision stop me😂 just a few more years and ill be there!

[@almerindaromeira8352]

It hooks up to a CRU unit which is chest mounted on the harness. From there it has a line for bailout oxygen in the seat and a big hose with a Quick Disconnect to an Oxygen Regulator on the aircraft panel. Some units like a CRU 94B has another hose to inflate a Anti G vest part of the Combat Edge program. It requires a special regulator with PBG function in order to work. BTW just for sake of completeness his loadout doesn't have Communication Ear plugs which are basically in-ear earphones tied to the helmet and allow you to listen the comms better.

[@iHahaAlot]

Hey brother thanks for the great videos! I am currently enlisted and was selected to go to OTS and attend CSO training. What manuals or documents do you recommend I study up ahead of time?

[@Tyspeed0528]

Can u make a video what pilot feel in the cockpits.. is this can .

[@patrikkupresanin7293]

Whats the helmet model

[@Cartoondude135]

But what about that oxygen tube that runs to your mask? What does the other end connect to to supply oxygen to you in flight? A tank?

[@DaveStarr4]

do both hoses the bottom and top one on the g suit hook to the aircraft?..........this may sound like a stupid question trying to learn how it works

[@thecombatsystemsofficercha509]

Yes, one hose connects to the G-suit inflation system and the other connects to the OBOGS (onboard oxygen system)

[@firestar30006]

Is it possible to buy this equipment?

[@saturnv3596]

El JDAlpha yes if u can afford it. One of those helmets cost 400,000$. Have fun trying to buy that

[@windshearahead7012]

Godly_Editz Do your research before posting none sense. This helmet doesn’t cost 400k. It’s the f35 helmet that costs 400k and it has classified equipment on it. You can find a standard fighter pilot helmet on eBay ranging from $100 to $1000.

[@Vasilyevich29]

I have a flight sim set up that it’s really really realistic and I need an helmet to make it feel more realistic where could I get a prop one

[@shreyasmathuria732]

Bro this is what I was looking for. Also pls answer my query which you can do easily. At the time of takeoff Fighter Airplane is balanced on both sides with equal number of weapons. When it fires a missile / rocket only below one wing, weight decreases below that wing compared to another (because another wing still has the weapon below it unfired). Than how does Airplane balances itself in such situation? thanks

[@ciri151]

On modern jets you don't really control the aircraft directly with your flight stick. So if you want to turn left, you push your control stick to the left and it sends signals to the computer which make the jet turn left. This is called fly by wire. So when you fire a rocket and the jet becomes unbalanced the computer does all kinds of calculations to keep the jet level. PS: This is a very basic explanation from a enthusiast. I'm not a professional at all..

[@azeoprop]

Imagine if your bladder is full and the g suit inflates...lol

[@nickst2797]

Could you make a video on how to tie the harness to the seat?

[@michaelbenjmitchell1]

The harness attaches to the seat via Koch fittings found on the harness.

[@carsonsean7810]

Thanks for responding. I’m a nav/CSO select waiting for an OTS date. Besides the RC135, B52, B1, F15E, and a handful of C130 variants do any other aircraft have or need CSOs?

Did you always intend to be a CSO?

[@brayciin3612]

Where did you get the helmet

[@moth_milk]

when you join the air force or navy, you go through the programs, get the gear in flight school, and if your lucky, the person who checks off your gear when your retired would let you keep most of it

[@TL-bs7uw]

Is it easy to breath with the mask

[@moth_milk]

it’s easier when your high in the air, but i’m not sure if it does much when you’re still grounded

[@IasEatsIT]

I'm watching this because I'm too poor to afford a 2,200$ gentex helmet replica

[@Bigbob1111]

Is it heavy? (Sorry for a dumb question but I am curious)

i’m sure the helmet and harness is heavy, but it shouldn’t weight too much, it’ll get heavier and heavier the more G’s you go through
