I am planning on signing up for Marine PLC by March 31, 2006. My vision is around 20/200 and I just got soft contacts at the beginning of February. I hope to get the air contract for a pilot slot. However, since I need to show 6 months of problem free ware for my contacts in order to get the waver, my OSO said that I could sign up as a ground officer and then come November we could just switch my contract over to the air contract. The reason I can't wait is because I am a junior now and if I wait too long I will not be eligible for PLC since it is not for seniors. Is my OSO telling me the truth? Is it hard to switch a ground contract over to air? What do you guys think of that? Can it be done that way?
Also, do I need to get some sort of documentation from my optometrist now in order to start the "six months of problem free ware” since I just got contacts? I also have bad astigmatism so I have to ware the toric lenses. Is that allowed?
Appreciate any advice you all have.
Also here is the link for the soft contact lens waver.
