Little background story on me: I'm in NROTC, commissioning in June, have been officially selected for SNA, and had LASIK done to correct my astigmatism last October. I redid my flight physical a week ago and was approved by the Navy Refractive Center in Bremerton, WA & NAS Whidbey Island for a LASIK waiver.
I have two questions:
1. How long does it normally take for a flight physical to make it through BUMED & NAMBI and be officially approved? I've been told 2-3 months...
2. Has anyone ever had LASIK done or knows someone who has that has been denied a waiver by BUMED or NAMBI despite being approved by a Navy Refractive Center, a Navy opthamologist, & a Navy flight surgeon? The staff here at OSU NROTC doesn't seem worried about me getting approved...
