Hey bro, concerning Lasik, here's what I know. I had lasik back in 97 and to this day the only regret that I have is that I should have choosen PRK. At the time both was DQ. Now you can get a waiver for PRK. I've been in touch with the folks directly involved in approving the waivers for PRK and basically they're a couple of yrs away from a LASIK study. So as of this momement you will not be an aviator in the Airforce, Navy or Marine Corp if you had LASIK. But wait there's hope actually tremendous hope. This is the route I was forced to take since I'm age critical and being a military aviator was my # 1 goal. The Army currently has a study for both LASIK and PRK for new aviators. Better yet I'm going to the guard to fly apaches, and still get to keep my good paying job on the outside. If you already had LASIK and are still relatively young then you can wait for the navy/marine corp to start their new study but again thats a couple yrs away. If you are age critical then the choice is yours. Either go for the army program or pursue flying in the civilian world. (Note: you can go for the army program now, preferably the guard or reserve, then try and transfer to your choice of service when they're allowing the lasik study)
