JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
Eyeglasses, sunglasses: wear them properly
I know it's hot outside and the sun is so bright that we need to wear sunglasses. So when you do, remember there are few regulations about sunglasses.
Air Force Instruction 36-2903, Table 2.6, Item 7, points out some of the rules: Sunglasses and eyeglasses can have conservative ornamentation on frames and lenses. A big thing to remember is that the frames may be black or brown material, or gold or silver wire. There are times we get in a habit of doing things a certain way, and sometimes those habits carry over when we put on our uniform.
The AFI also states that glasses will not be worn around the neck or on top of the head. This is an easy one to forget about because we do it all the time in civilian clothes. Take some time to read Table 2.6 in AFI 36-2903, and you will find some other things we typically forget about.
