A SNA can actually get a contact lens waiver?
You still have to be within the basic visual accuity limits - 20/40 or whatever it is these days, but you have to be correctable to 20/20 and contacts are one way to do that.

This is old gouge: I'm at 20/400 correctable to 20/20, fly on a SCL waiver, and jets were wide open to me after primary. Yea...I need to get Lasik or PRK asap but it's prolly not happening for a couple more years.
From talking to a couple docs, it sounds like they have tightened up the waiver requirements, so what Brett said is probably true as far as initial requirements, but there isn't anything to keep you out of tacair, besides the whole grades and needs of the Navy thing.
Other than that, go ahead and get yourself a Top Gun poster, some old F-14 patches, and start practicing your unnecessarily flex-ed volleyball game. You're practically in!

It isn't. It was discontinued a couple years back. I was one of the, if not the last one to get approved for it and I'm nearing completion of primary.
Though I haven't actually been told anything to the contrary, its nice to hear someone say that.
