I am new to this forum and not even sure if this is the right one to broach this question, but I recently checked out of my squadron and in the process of doing a PCS move via the wonderful navy movers, My pilot helmet, O2 mask and other flight gear went missing. My current orders do not have me flying, and do to an illness I am not sure if I will make it back to the cockpit any time soon, but I am keenly interested in getting a hold of another helmet, etc, for nastalgia sake. If anyone can help me, I would certainly appreciate it.

The P-3 mafia is all over this board. I'm sure is your story is legit, someone will help yout out.
Out of curiosity, have you filed a claim? I'm not sure what the deal is if your pro gear goes missing with your movers (they always seem to make a big deal about separating that stuff out and marking it, so hopefully there's a reason). Anyway, if I were you I'd be talking to the PR shop you just left and setting something up with them so that you have all the info you need to make your claim, and that once you get that claim, you can somehow get the money to your old squadron and have the PR shop hook you up. No guarantees that'll work, but if I were you, that's at least where I'd start.
You guys have helmets?!
Speaking of which, I've never seen a pilot with his own O2 mask, or, for that matter, his own SV-2. We get issued that by the PR shop upon check in, and it stays with the PR shop when you leave. They don't go handing those things out.
And what's 'sanitized' SV-2?
Issued, sure. The gear is indeed 'mine,' up until I check out. SV-2's are not something I've ever been so much as offered to keep. This is coming from VQ and other non-straight-stick P-3 squadrons. Zab, you actually have an SV-2 that's yours to keep after you leave the squadron? If so, does that include the survival gear, too? If so, I'm gonna feel like an idiot and wonder what else I've been screwed out of all these years. :icon_rage
I had to turn in all incendiaries and the radio, everything else I kept. SOP (for my squadron at least), was that if you were going to another flying billet, you keep your stuff. I had them pull my CO2 so I could put it in my carry-on (airlines change their requirements everytime I fly). I was also issued one by my hosts here, which I will return (piece of FOD anyway, zippers stick).
edit: this may have had to do with the squadron transitioning to AIRSAVE
