They issue those nowadays, they are ballistic sunglasses. Apparently they figured out when fighting in a desert these aren’t a bad idea.

Group discount! Seriously, protective eyewear has been issued as part of equipment fieldings since early years of OEF/OIF. Program Executive Officer-Soldier oversees this initiative and others to provide the soldier quality gear to increase lethality and survivability. If you look up Authorized Protective Eyewear List or APEL, you’ll see a graphic of the eyewear authorized for wear.

I have 'spurs' (actually just the paper/PI do have a CIB as well)+~ we had 19d volunteer to come with and the funny thing is that they thought they were infantry

A 19D can't be awarded a CIB unless an exception to policy if granted. That doesn't happen often; if ever.

I have the CIB and I am a 11E4H, it was awarded when I had a duty MOS of 11B40 for about 6 weeks while assigned to the 3/4 Cav in RVN
