No more BCGs

The Army is transitioning away from using BCGs and into a set of protective glasses for training and a choice of frames for garrison work. [Article link]

For those of you not in the military, BCG stands for Birth Control Glasses. It's a reference to the God-awful design of the lenses. They're so bad that it's said to eliminate any chance the soldier may have had with a girl, thus preventing any activity leading to pregnancy. My father had a pair of these. They look to be quite effective.

And here I would have guessed "Ballistic Combat." Is this something like the "This is my weapon and this is my gun" saying? *grin*
