There is nothing boring about the headquarters of Oakley, Inc. in Foothill Ranch, California.
Besides being the place where about 35,000 sets of sunglasses are made every day, the company has some features that set it apart from other corporate homes, like a working military tank, a BMX track, and a torpedo in the parking lot.
We recently traveled down to Southern California for a conference at Oakley for the Infinite Hero Foundation, a charity for military veterans and their families.
While there, we took a tour of the company that makes everything from sunglasses to boots to backpacks.
Disclosure: Infinite Hero paid for the author's travel to the conference, where he was a discussion panel moderator.
One of the first things you'll notice about Oakley HQ is its many design cues from the military.
And visitors take notice pretty quickly, with a tank-like vehicle parked not far from the parking lot (It looks like a tank, but it's actually an infantry fighting vehicle called a BMP).
This isn't a prop. It's really works. While we were there, Oakley staffers used it to give people rides during the conference.
