Greetings Oakley Hive Mind! I am somewhere North of 60 years old, almost 22 years of that spent in the U.S. Army.
Back in 1991 before, during, and after Desert Storm, I was kicking around Iraq and part of Southern Turkey. While there doing “stuff” I was lucky enough to get a few goodie boxes while getting resupplied. We got cool candy, Hershey chocolate that would not melt (pic attached), such things. But in one box I got there were a pair of black sunglasses. I would swear that they were Oakleys…and before anyone asks no…Sadly I don’t have them any longer. I scratched the holy carp out of them over time and probably tossed them in a rash act of youthful stupidity. On the up side I got to eat the chocolate bar and still have the shoulder patch!
Anyone else recall these sunglasses? My Google-Fu must be weak as I can find nothing referencing these particular sunglasses.
Thoughts? Ideas? Wild guesses?
Inquiring minds want to know!
