After boot training and both A B and C schools was assigned to the SSBN 599 Gold crew to serve out my enlistment. To answer your question Yes the gold rimmed glasses do work fine in both EBA's and OBA's. Altho they are not issued as a matter of course to all wearers of glasses. But rather it seemed to be up to the skipper if he will authorize it. You needed both a willing and determined corpsman and a skipper willing to spend part of his budget to get them. Having served under three skippers and two corpsman, the first skipper and corpsman no luck, the second skipper and first corpsman no luck, the second skipper and second corpsman got me the glasses, the third skipper and second corpsman again no luck. So some get them some don't This is probably more that you wanted. Enjoy. -- Return to sender: uw-beaver!pilchuck!seahcx!phred!stevel
