Ya the PVS-14s/31s were and still are annoying as hell. You can counterbalance them all you want. But moving around with a huge weight on the front of your helmet is annoying as shit, team Wendy or not.

Yea I remember this.
As a conscript soldier, we weren't issued with counterweights, so after 10 mins of running, jumping and simply moving, the NVGs were at nose level. I couldn't see shit.

That was the other part...had to strap the helmet down tighter...so jaw ended up hurting.
We owned the night and all...but man it hurt like hell... lol

This. Using NVG correctly is a skillset. So many issues with alignment or fogging up if just given to people without training.

Hell, as a volunteer Marine in the 2010's, we weren't given counterweights for them.
