guys,
thanks. I wanted to feel out how officers would interpret my demands. Yes I know they are such. I understand the officer first idea. But people want to do what suits them best if possible. My first chance at liberty, I'll go and see the optometrist on my own and probably spend a few grand on treatment if the navy won't pay for it. I've got too much potential in the private sector to sacrafice for something I don't love and that, to me isn't fullfilling. Like swo or supply. Not that they are bad, but I love my civi job with the navy at nawcwd china lake, which is where I'm headed back to should i not get sna or a chance to get a second opinion from the eye doc.
I really appreciate your thoughts and will take them into account when making this tremendous career decision.
And the Docs have told you being a pilot doesn't suit you. Your eyes are questionable and they aren't willing to bank a few million on an airplane and the lives of everyone on board on them.
Just DOR. Go back to your civvie job. Maybe you haven't presented yourself as a doucher enough that the guys from China Lake around here won't recognize you. But then again...
