I've been selected for SNA, and I have passed my initial flight physical. I'm a little worried about the flight physical that I'll get down in P-Cola however. I'm pretty sure that my left eye is just outside the standards, and they're not going to give me a break down there like they did in Great Lakes. So, because of this, I'm interested in getting PRK. I'm scheduled for a consult this week at a civilian medical center. My concern is that after reading through the rules set up by NAMI (NOMI, whatever it is,) it looks like if you are "designated air warfare personnell) then you are not allowed to get PRK in a civilian facility. That would mean that I would have to get put on the long waiting list, and have to travel to the nearest one (a long way away.) So, does anyone know if I am "designated air warfare personnel) or am I an "SNA accession?"
I'm currently an Officer Candidate, and I am graduating in December, so I'm sorta running out of time. If I need to get it done before I get commissioned, then I need to get on it. Idealy, I would like to wait until I am commissioned, and get it in January.
If anyone has any experience with this, your knowledge would really be appriciated. Thank a lot.
