Army Goggles

What exact model of night vision goggles currently in use by the united states military? How much does 1 set cost?

The main ones used are PVS-7 and PVS-14 series goggles with additional models being used for aircrews.

They will cost anywhere from $5,000 on up.

Yes, he will be issued NODs/NVGs/NVDs (night optical devices, night vision goggles, night vision devices). The Army will issue him every single item he would ever need, and a lot that he won't even want.

He would not be allowed to wear his own private ones even if he had them.

Additionally, the PVS-14 that the Army is buying now are about $3500 each... not cheap.

If your on the battle feild and need goggles for some reason, does the army provide goggles that can be used with glasses? answers appreciated

yes they provide inserts for your goggles. I'd also recommend buying prescription ballistic glasses, which are much better than what the military provides. oakley makes great prescription ballistic eyewear.

My husband is in Army Basic training in Fort Leonardwood Missouri. He is training to become and MP as well. He got to send me a picture via email and in it he looks all dirty and sweaty and he's wearing goggles and a bright orange traffic type vest. I was just wondering if anyone knew why he was dressed like this.

Because for an MP - goggles keep the dust, debris etc out of your eyes and the vest (hopefully) makes it more likely that a vehicle driver will see you (and not run you over by accident).

I ask because I know a man who got them from the Army and he is retired now and is willing to sell me his goggles . Personally I would love to have a pair but I don't know if they are illegal to own .
The man who is wants to sell them is a retired Navy Seal he didnt steal them and want them because I like to camp and fish and I would find these handy in the woods in the middle of the night .

Not illegal to purchase, but if you are selling them, you can;t sell them overseas without a Department Of State certification.

I know that some NVG goggles are being tagged as "Field Losses" by soldier, who then take them home to sell them at pawn shops; that in itself is stealing and punishable with federal prison time (I'm a former Army MP and current Federal Corrections Officer, so I know).

THere are serious limitations on the sale of devices like these, but you will always see a pair float around on eBay from time to time, some are lega, some may be stolen; I suggest you watch your back on that.
