We did the same thing with night vision goggles in Vietnam. I had some
folks buy the leather and make the patches. It allowed the guards on the
bunker lines to keep both eyes open while looking through the scope. It was
a big help.

I don't get it, John. You mean the patch would be removed from one
eye and that eye put to the scope? I've never used night vision
goggles, and am having trouble picturing what you've described.

I read this to mean the nightscope was a monocular, so they put an eye
patch over the eye that was not used to look thru the nightscopoe.

If that's true, I get it. "Goggles" threw me off.
