Hey Guys-
I wanted to share with you guys the specticles that I have chosen for use when operating my A2. This is a rare pair of vintage USGI issued sunglasses designed to protect M-Series occupants during a tactical nuke detonation. While I will admit freely to making up this outrageous story I absolutely do mean to share my new eye wear with this forum. These are my A2 glasses. That is true. It is also true that I will be telling people at gas stations and convenience stores across greater Austin a story that is very similar to the one I outlined above

Regards,
Matt-

Those were very common in machine shops during the 50-60-70's. My dad used to always wear them, and slap me if I didn't ( while in the shop.) I still have a couple of pair.

Aren't they also called "birth control glasses"

I like it... Night Vision... Birth Control... I need to weave those into the "story" too. There needs to be several variants depending on who is filling up on the pump opposite me

Wearing these glasses.....Does it make your face glow or can you see through bricks?

Only kidding. Don't lose them, they are neat.
