This is what we call the "urban cloaking SSCL device" from a class at the Guilford sniper school. The SSCL stands for sanitized shitcan lid. It fits well with her overall attire and has a built in visor to protect against the sun and deflect small caliber bullets. When used with the black AK-74, she has that all business sniper look for those tough missions beyond the office.
(It started as a small idea. I needed a story for a column I had been writing for Far Sector Magazine, and my lovely wife actually agreed to wear the lid on her head to help me with the story. I have to say that is true love.)
Since that time, she has developed into a dedicated sniper, and she can blend in with any group of available shitcans for undercover operations. Some people may say this is demeaning to women, but as a deadly urban sniper, she can tag you between the running lights at 200 yards nine out of ten times.
So now, we have dedicated an entire blog to the stuff she wears on her head at different times and for different reasons.
From now on I will call her the "Singing Sniper."

That lid has become a conversation piece since she signed it.
