When you're in basic training for the Air Force, and you wear glasses, but you have contacts, which will they make you wear??

I'm going to say glasses (although I was Army). The reason is for your safety. Although A.F. basic is not nearly as physical as say the Marines, or Army, you will go through the gas chamber, have p.t., etc. By all means, wear your glasses (at least till you get to your first duty station). It's not worth the risk of injuring your eyes by wearing contacts. And I wish you well! esta

Hope this reply does not come tooo late! AF info states that you will have to do glasses during BMT since it is not an atmosphere conducive to contacts.
