About a year after we gave it back, we were asked if we'd wanted our Hemmet back.
The Smoke said no, hung up politely, and THEN thought about it.
He looked over at my brother and I, and asks, "I should've said YES, shouldn't I?"

ROTFL

A little while after that, our unit went to Camp Blanding near Jacksonville Florida to do live fire.
The Smoke walked up to the remaining "Criminals" (4 of us) and says, "Wouldn't it be nice to go down with 10 vehicles and come back with 11? I'm not saying, but I'm just saying, wouldn't it be nice?"
We asked him if he'd like a Hemmet.
He said that he wasn't saying such.
Then he asked about how well the Hemmet rode.

We DID try to get our hands on a Florida Guard Hemmet, especially since to return it someone would've had to DRIVE it back...
(Did ALMOST got my hands on an Avenger system.. was sitting in it when it's owners returned and chuckled over my drooling over the weaponry.)
