[Jareth]

Hello, can anyone please translate these three areas on same helmet? Thanks in advance!

We'll need Nick to vet this .....

舫工一〇六 号
Mooring Construction No 106
Might be Dock worker??? 舫 means "mooring", "painter". It is composed of the two kanji meaning small boat 舟 and person/direction 方. Sometimes you can get the jist of a kanji when you break it down .... but that's really asking for trouble -- sometimes the clue is in the sound one of the supporting kanji makes.

Paging Mr. Nick Komiya -- please pick up the white courtesy phone .........


The other one is simpler:
中隊長
Chūtai Chō
Company Commander
