OTV Recall
According to Maradmin 241/05 there is a precautionary recall on certain batches of OTV’s or Outer Tactical Vests. These vest are to be check by the Marines unit to determine whether they are from a recalled batch. We did a screening of all our ballistic panels for out OTV’s. This includes the three panels that are in the vest, two panels that are in the collar portion, and one in the neck, and groin protector. Sadly both my neck and throat panels where on recall status. So that’s 3 panels of protection that wouldn’t have work when I was in Iraq. I’m just thankful that I never had to have those panels fail on me. The bright side is that I will get new panels before our next deployment. Remember to check your ballistic panels.
*never expect what you don’t inspect…*
