A few weeks ago I switched my first choice for service selection from SWO to Pilot (about time, I know). I was able to switch out my 1/C Surface cruise this summer for an Aviation one, so in the meantime I'm rushing to get all this Medical and Physical stuff done.
My question(s): I wear glasses/contacts, and see perfectly with them on. One of my eyes is 20/40 and the other is 20/80, and I have a slight astigmatism. I heard that if I want to get surgery, it'd have to be at least 6 months before my pre-comm physical. Does this physical I'm going to get on the 28th count as the pre-comm?
Also...in addition to being a Midshipman, I'm also still a Dependant. Would I be able to qualify for getting the PRK for free somehow? Is there a huge waiting line for this?
I'm sure the folks at the hospital will be able to help me out too, but I'd like to know as soon as possible if I'll even have a chance to get picked up for Pilot/NFO.
