I dont know about Marine doc's only....but I do know that if you get the surgery done on the outside ...you have to have months and months of post op reports, so you will have to have the time to keep going and getting it done. I dont know if the wait for TBS is long at all right now, does anyone have any recent info on that?
Anyway, if you get it done in the military, you have to get on the waiting list. Even if your an NF0, SNA, SEAL, or Diver, and are put on priority I, I've heard the wait is over 6-8 months. priority II-IV's even longer.
I'm NFO candidate who qualified pilot, so I'm in the same boat. If anyone has any info regarding PRK near TBS, please post. Thanks
