Speaking for marines (32 MARINE BRIGADE) and their potential vehicle:

There are two different approaches (eachone for several reasons)
A. One and the same personel carier
B. Two types of vehicles :the first totaly amphibius and the other mainly combat with some amphibius capabilities

I am going with the first one.
And there exsists only one but expensive solution : the AAAFV

Sorry ...the AAAV

Here is a relative study

I am sorry but due to technical reasons (???) I am not able to post the available photos

BTR-90 has only one disadvantage. No Army especially the Russian adopted it yet. The BTR-80 especially the A model (30mm/7,62mm Turret) is very a good choice for Ebros based units and for Marines (along with BMP-3M).

And if they think (the stupid politicians I mean) that an all-BTR-80A force is too expensive, due to the cannon, there is always the BTR-80S with a 14,5mm KPVT in place of the 2A42, and in the SAME turret.

BMP-3M For Marines

The Marine version of the BMP-3 is designated BMP-3F "sans suffixe". This is the latest version with features of the BMP-3M, plus additional flotation cells to compensate for the increased weight, but without any change in designation; should be called BMP-3FM IMHO.

that said, wearing a helmet over your b00nie really does kind of defeat the purpose ... the guy probably has good reasons for it but I'll be damned if I know

I wouldn't punish him for it (besides make a picture and send it to all his buddies AND his parents) but I would definately make him take it off and give the man a pair of sunglasses for his troubles

I really do enjoy your emphasis in trying to make a SOF-operator out of this little ouzo-wired sailor standing guard while civilan refugees are going on board. This was everything but a combat situation, my greek friends!!!
But anyway, keep on dreaming and take care of your very professional special anti-terror navy SOF super operators with their boony-helmet-suncover-something...

Axfax, one more thing to end this once and for all. It is common for SOF operators worldwide to show a cavalier disrespect for dress regs while on training or actual ops. I have seen photos of Greek SOF operators wearing anything from woodland to standard Hellenic Army leaf pattern to DPM or even ACU BDUs. The way a man chooses to wear his gear is his and only his choise, and it is done in a way that suits him best.
