                <![CDATA[Sorry, Mike, but you're wrong. Where the heck else would a trooper want to put his goggles? They are where they can be used. A nice set of goggles in the CVC doesn't keep dust out of your eyes. <br />]]>

                <![CDATA[Sniff...&nbsp; I&nbsp;miss the M198, not to mention the smell...&nbsp; In defense of the googles on the helmet (yeah, mine are there) when you're in the desert you get to frequently put them on as the dust blows through - particularly on the gun line.&nbsp; I'm not sure where else you're supposed to stow them if you plan on using them as required...&nbsp; My ruck was usually in the 5 ton when we were doing fire missions.]]>

                <![CDATA[It's not a &quot;Rommel's Goggles&quot; look -- it's the ground-pounders' way of simulating the visor on a flight helmet.<br />
<br />
Wearing googles or shades on a soft cap is also a handy way of obscuring your employer's logo when you want to be incognito around snoopy photogs... <br />]]>

                <![CDATA[does anyone else get peeved by the whole &quot;Rommel goggles&quot; look?<br />
<br />
i swear, for some reason that always just chapped my buns.<br />
<br />
either wear them, or stow them.&nbsp; parking them on the front of the k-pot just makes ya look like a tool.<br />
<br />
i had one CPT in particular that i would generally abuse for it, and he learned to carry them around in his CVC bag after only three iterations....<br />]]>
