There are multiple versions, but the one I found I bought at an Army Exchange prior to R Day. Only red lenses are allowed in field environments since it is considered “tactical.” It was the only light we had during the night while pulling security, conducting hygiene, etc

Honestly, they issue everything you’ll absolutely need! However, I was extremely grateful that I brought a headlamp with a red lens, 500 paracord, and a multi tool! They were life savers in the field

I should've replied that I called USAA again, got an experienced lady and she was able to help! My account is all set up- they just simply need to verify my appointment (I already uploaded the doc) Thank you!
