NOOB Questions: Rule Clarification(s)

I'm hoping my readers might assist in clearing up a few rule questions Jancoran posed on the Warsound forums recently. Jancoran is by no means a noob, however, I am- and I believe a couple of the questions he posed were for my benefit.

Tuesday Throw Down Recap: 07 29 2011

Real marines deep strike with their helmets' OFF.
