Anonymous asked: FYI: "Standard issue military eyeglasses are considered so unflattering, service members have an acronym for them: BCGs or Birth Control Glasses. For the first time in more than 20 years, the military is updating its look. Instead of those thick brown plastic frames, recruits can get sleeker black plastic specs."
Thanks for the PSA.
I don’t know why people consider them unflattering. I get compliments on these frames daily. From ladies and dudes. I’m pretty sure 99% of people don’t realize they are BCGs in the first place. They think I’m just some “hip dude” wearing “ironically oversized” glasses. I love dropping that knowledge and watching their reaction.
I also own five pairs in case these ever break, but I doubt it. They’re designed for combat, and the only combat I’m getting into is when my cat kneads on my face in the morning.
