Talk:Helmet fire

I thought about it, and what I should have done is write this article as the task saturation article, then put in a section or a redirect for helmet fire. I'll do it later.

While I agree 100% with the definition of the term here, it is not clearly aviation-specific. I learned the term from USMC tanker, and apparently Marine Corps armor types believe this term belongs to them. I have multiple FAA civilian ratings and had never heard the term until I heard it from the former Marine armor guy, so the suggestion that this is an aviation term is very questionable. There may be thousands of military aviators out there using the term every day for all I know, but generally military aviation terms find their way very quickly into the civilian aviation world and equally quickly into the GA world. Yet I've never heard any pilot use the term "helmet fire." Seems a bit odd, don't you think? What probably needs to happen is for this term to be moved into a much more general military terminology page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikerrr (talkcontribs) 20:55, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
