Alrighty boys, anyone with some good NVG knowledge or military service chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.

I met this guy at a game maybe a month or two ago. He claimed he was Airborne in the US, but he didn't give off the right vibe, and he talked about helicopter insertions a lot. I don't know, that tipped my BS meter a bit but I didn't say anything since I know very little about actual military operations.

Guy talked today about night vision (BIG MISTAKE). He claimed he had two sets of NVGs in a storage locker in the US, and he was trying to identify them. At first he said they were issued to him. One he claimed was a "two into one gen three", made by ATN. "You mean a PVS-7? ITT? ATN doesn't supply the US military." He claimed he was sure it was ATN and that ATN had entire mil line. He also claimed that in the Airborne he was given stuff from General Starlight (GSCI) because it was basically "whoever could get them the stuff the fastest". Ummmmmm okay...... As far as I know US mil contracts all went to Exelis/ITT/Harris or Litton/L-3. He claimed this was 2013. I thought PVS-7 style devices were phased out ages ago.

I then asked him about his other set to help him ID the set. He claimed it was a "two separate" unit, he thought it was made by ATN. WHO THE FUCK CALLS BINOS "TWO SEPARATE"? I asked him what the pupillary (distance between eyes) adjustment mechanism was, because that can differentiate between PVS-15, PVS-31, and ANVIS style systems. He then thought for a few seconds and said "Iuno I never used them, I stole them off a guy." LOL OKAY THANKS FOR ADMITTING TO STEALING AT LEAST 10K OF EQUIPMENT FROM THE U.S. MILITARY.

Thoughts?
