I know some of yall are rolling your eyes at how dumb this sounds but I've been wondering about it. I am aware this has been asked elsewhere years ago but I want to get the perspective of those at West Point and generally those who went through training with prescription glasses.
My eyesight is good enough to where I can survive without them but bad enough to where if I want to recognize things more than 20 meters away I should probably wear my glasses. Now I already hate wearing my glasses but I was wondering how inconvenient they were in a field environment. Like I expect them to get pretty dirty and you have to wipe your face with muddy gloves every couple minutes which is already a headache thinking about. Another thing was what am I going to do if I wanted to wear sunglasses because I like to be able to see when I'm facing the sun. Can I wear tinted goggles over my glasses? Is that even less comfortable? It's little things that I just think about as R-Day comes closer.
