I wonder if some knucklehead just told you guys that as some sort of anecdotal nonsense? We ran our NBC systems nonstop during field problems in the middle of the Ft. Hood summers. Besides, what's the point of having an NBC overpressure system if you can't run it continuously?

I, too, am a former M1A1 crewman, but I was tanking back in '97.

We used to just take the hoses from the NBC system and zip them into our Nomexes. That "cooling vest" didn't work for shit, but if you just trapped the hose into the bottom end of your front zipper, it was balloon man time, yo!
