Is wearing eyeglasses on top of head allowed while in uniform?

My opinion wear them correctly or put the away

He was wrong plus a 2nd LT. still in ROTC mentally

they cannot, falls under the same concept as not being allowed to wear them around the neck

I was told once in a loud and clear manner to take those Sun glasses off my f***ing head!
I did so post haste. Next time, I will answer with, there is no regulation for that order GySgt!
Hopefully, I will not be PT'ed and throw up, or die.

This is the silly part of the Military... focus instead about a Possible Iran conflict...I live near a Marine base and it's been constant Artillery bombardments for days and nights .....even Sun Morning.

Okay, light him up dependong on your rank...SSG and below leaders may say something like "You know LT, when you wear your glasses like that, it makes my stupid privates think they can too..."
SPC and below non leader may say "Excuse me sir, where did you get those glasses? Cuz I want to cruz around in violation too..."
PSG and up - "LT! What the hell is on your head!? You look like you're trying to be a Barbie Convertible driver! Holy crap, now I've seen it all. My guys are gonna have ta call you Lieutenant Barbie. I won't put up with that. You should take those off or we're all hosed..." Shake head and walk away.

Wear of eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses
December 21, 2018

a. Wear of eyeglasses and sunglasses.

(1) Conservative civilian prescription eyeglasses are authorized for wear with all uniforms.

(2) Conservative prescription and nonprescription sunglasses are authorized for wear when in a garrison environment, except when in formation and while indoors. Individuals who are required by medical authority to wear sunglasses for medical reasons other than refractive error may wear them, except when health or safety considerations apply. Soldiers may not wear sunglasses in the field, unless required by the commander for safety reasons in high- glare, field environments.

(3) Restrictions on eyeglasses and sunglasses. Eyeglasses or sunglasses that are trendy, or have lenses or frames with initials, designs, or other adornments are not authorized for wear. Soldiers may not wear lenses with extreme or trendy colors, which include but are not limited to, red, yellow, blue, purple, bright green, or orange. Lens colors must be traditional gray, brown, or dark green shades. Personnel will not wear lenses or frames that are so large or so small that they detract from the appearance of the uniform. Personnel will not attach chains, bands, or ribbons to eyeglasses. Eyeglass restraints are authorized only when required for safety purposes. Personnel will not hang eyeglasses or eyeglass cases on the uniform, and may not let glasses hang from eyeglass restraints down the front of the uniform.

b. Restrictions on contact lenses. Tinted or colored contact lenses are not authorized for wear with the uniform. The only exception is for opaque lenses that are prescribed medically for eye injuries. Additionally, clear lenses that have designs on them that change the contour of the iris are not authorized for wear with the uniform.

Here is the way,
Good __________Sir/Ma'am, are we are we authorized to wear sunglasses on th he back of your head like Guy Fieri and not Top Gun.

Conservative prescription and nonprescription sunglasses are authorized for wear when in a garrison environment, except while indoors. Individuals who are required by medical authority to wear sunglasses for medical reasons, other than refractive error, may wear them, except when health or safety considerations apply. Commanders may authorize sunglasses in formations or field environments, as appropriate.

(3) Eyeglasses or sunglasses that are trendy or have lenses or frames with conspicuous initials, designs, or other adornments are not authorized for wear. Soldiers may not wear lenses with extreme or trendy colors, which include, but are not limited to, red, yellow, blue, purple, bright green, or orange. Lens colors must be traditional gray, brown, or dark green shades. Personnel will not wear lenses or frames that are so large or so small that they detract from the appearance of the uniform. Personnel will not attach chains or ribbons to eyeglasses. Eyeglass restraints (to include bands) are authorized when required for safety purposes. Personnel will not hang eyeglasses or eyeglass cases on the uniform and may not let glasses hang from eyeglass restraints down the front of the uniform. Glasses may not be worn on top of the head at any time.

(4) Soldiers are authorized to wear ballistic spectacle eye protection issued by the Army, including lens colors or logos that do not comply with paragraph 3–10 a (3), above, in garrison or field environments unless otherwise directed by their chain of command. See the Army Combat Readiness Center for a list of currently approved protective eyewear.

#4 opened the door up for soldiers as long as their Commanders allow. The key to it all is wearing ballistic approved sunglasses.

Stupid question

"If Delta wants to wear Oakleys, that's their business...I don't wanna see them on again, hooah..?"
