Dear Service Academy,
I am a non-contracted Army ROTC cadet in the Mohawk Battalion. I am fighting for a scholarship this summer. I want to get LASIK in the summer is this a DoMERB disqualification ? I did my research for Special Forces and they allow lasik but it has to be done 6 months before training. If lasik is a DoMERB disqualification can i get it after i graduate from college. I remember talking to my recruiting sergeant when i was thinking about SMP and she said "When we go to MEPS bring the paper work for lasik". I am not doing SMP. I just need to now now if it is a disqualification. The colorblind test i may have a problem. I also looked in the MEPS/Medical handbook. It said if i fail the PIP (plate test) i will be given a FALANT test and if i fail that they make me distinguish vivid red and vivid green. Does that happen at DoMERB?
Thanks,
Cadet Kendziora
