I'm a civilian college student applying to the Navy. I spoke to a recruiter today who said it was possible to get PRK at your first fleet assignment on the Navy's nickel.
I was surprised by this, since I assumed corrected vision was necessary just to get a SNA slot at OCS. I also wouldn't imagine that the Navy would allow me through flight school with uncorrected eyes.
He also told me that I would get LASIK, as long as it was done by the Navy and in the above manner, after winging.
Does anyone know the gouge on this topic?
