yeah i saw this post on the Army facebook page today.

If i was him id keep those glasses in my pocket and use it as a blow job ticket the second i got back home.

But too right he is one lucky F**k, If i was him id have to look my C.O in the eye and ask "permission to shit myself"

They look like the ESS ballistic glasses, They advertise them as being able to withstand a shotgun. and fair enough i got a pair for wheni go clay shooting, thought id put them to the test, and yeah they went well. was very impressed, till my mate tapped me on the shoulder and said, "dont look to impressed, if you get shot in the face with a shotgun the last thing you will be worried about is your eyes.

My god! He really is one lucky man.

Never worry about the ones that miss.

Some seem to worry about even the slightest scratch these days.
But in any circumstances his safe.
