I know it sounds like a dumb question, but a few years back when I was sitting in my recruiter's office, I got to reading a naval aviation mag that had an article about the navy's new program to allow people with corrective eye surgery to fly jets. I believe it was PKM? It is the type that rubs at the cornea, not Lasik.
So I am currently enlisted, and my vision is correctable to 20/20. Would the navy allow me to fly helecopters without corrective surgery? And if they won't does anyone know if they would be willing to plan for it to occur while in college (Hoping to go STA-21 in next year's round of applications)?
Any help greatly appreciated!

Edit: Since I know the navy can be "flexible" when it comes to waivers for people they want, I figured I would post my recent test scores.
ASVAB: 99
ASTB: 6/6/6/61
Haven't taken SAT/ACT yet, but I feel I will do pretty well on it as well.
