You received more than I did. Lucky dog! Oh, did get some goggles for sandstorms.
Heh…I was mostly autonomous…so had some leeway in movement. I think I got a total of three different care packages and two with sunglasses. So darn right lucky…care package wise! If I recall correctly, I spent most of the year of 1991 in Iraq. I was stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Turkey so was initially close by anywayYou received more than I did. Lucky dog!

I remember what was out there in 1991, and before. Take a look at these and see if they look familiar these are on Ebay. :Greetings Oakley Hive Mind! I am somewhere North of 60 years old, almost 22 years of that spent in the U.S. Army.
Back in 1991 before, during, and after Desert Storm, I was kicking around Iraq and part of Southern Turkey. While there doing “stuff” I was lucky enough to get a few goodie boxes while getting resupplied. We got cool candy, Hershey chocolate that would not melt (pic attached), such things. But in one box I got there were a pair of black sunglasses. I would swear that they were Oakleys…and before anyone asks no…Sadly I don’t have them any longer. I scratched the holy carp out of them over time and probably tossed them in a rash act of youthful stupidity. On the up side I got to eat the chocolate bar and still have the shoulder patch!
Anyone else recall these sunglasses? My Google-Fu must be weak as I can find nothing referencing these particular sunglasses.
Thoughts? Ideas? Wild guesses?
Inquiring minds want to know!

Heh…talk about timing. I was just sifting thru the sack of sand which is my memory and trying to recall the basic shape while also searching Google for pre 1992 Oakley frame designs. They were not like M-Frame or Razor Blades. In my memory they were more like the design of Minutes (which I see came out much later). They were black with dark lenses. That I do recall clearly.I remember what was out there in 1991, and before. Take a look at these and see if they look familiar these are on Ebay. :
