Birth control glasses..

Wearing those on your night out, would probably prevent you from having sex.. :D

Nice photos, but I don't like this gear, it's to "normal" .. ;) I'm jealous about the other things though :mrgreen:

Ah yes, the ubiquitous birth control glasses! When my unit was activated for desert shield, everyone who wore glasses was issued 3 pairs of these----those with contact lenses were forbidden to wear them in theater because we were told they were impossible to decon and of course the talcum-powder sand would blow into them as well. Great pics Norge! Are those commercial ski's or mil-issue?

I used to wear those type of frames when i was a kid.... :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: My aunt was in the army and she always send me those extra frames she had.since I had a high prescription and was allergic to the metal frames these were perfect. They where mostly black and trust me I was the joke of my elementary classmates. :roll: :cry: :cry: :D
My mom still has them at home back in PR....
I miss those days.... :mrgreen:
