Re: EAB glasses


In 1981 they were issuing small wire-rimmed glasses that had a small
distance from corner to corner and very small wire temples.

In 1983 they changed to "Rocky Racoon Goggles" which are really 
US Divers scuba glasses. They look like plain black plastic "nerd glasses"
except instead of earpieces they use a rubber-band headstrap which is
very thin at the temples. They look like hell but work real fine
in a scuba mask :-)))


I don't know what they use now.

I wore my racoon goggles dangling around my neck and wore my regular 
glasses. When SUBLANT (admiral) asked my why I told him they were 
uncomfortable and abnormal.
