Seeking Advice – Torn Between NUPOC and SNA

I think I would like to stay full 20 but I want to take it one contract at a time.

To get the terminology correct, and I guess the mindset too, officers do not have "contracts" like our enlisted folks do when they enlist and re-enlist. You are commissioned, have an associated minimum active duty service requirement, and you just keep going unless you quit after that or are forced out by failure to promote. Your "contract" for an aviation officer is wings + 8 years, though those waters have become muddied in the last year. So roughly 10 years depending on how long flight school takes. You can choose to leave after that, but you don't ever sign up again, you just stay to retirement or resign your commission (or for some of us, transfer the commission over to the navy reserves)

This got me thinking
Here is a plan
I go NRE, do not get LASIK, once in I get LASIK at some point
When I get out of NRE 5 year obligation, I will be 29

And then I apply for Pilot?
Is this possible or am I being delusional?
In the past there was a push to get those who were nuke instructors or NRE to be able to lateral transfer.

Looking at the previous post I get the feeling you would be enjoy being in aviation more, why not get Lasik now and apply SNA?
