I just received an appointment to USMMA, and I don’t have the appointee booklet yet. I know that appointees need to stop wearing hard contac lenses 90 days before I day for the Air Force academy. I’m currently wearing Ortho K contact lenses when I go to bed. Does anyone know if USMMA has the same rule as the USAFA about contact lenses.

Contact lenses before INDOC
- Thread starter mattl09
- Start date
According to the Class of 2024 Logging Book, "CORRECTIVE LENSES FOR PLEBE CANDIDATES DURING INDOCTRINATION
Plebe Candidates requiring corrective lenses, who wear contact lenses, are strongly encouraged to bring eyeglasses (we recommend 2 pairs) for Indoctrination. At this time the use of contact lenses is not prohibited; however, due to time constraints during Indoctrination, appropriate lens care can be difficult. Those Candidates with corrective lenses who wear glasses are less likely to experience problems such as lost, torn and/or scratched contact lenses."

I can confirm as someone who wears contacts you shouldn’t have any problems. They suggest wearing glasses because of the limited time you have in the mornings during wake up throughout Indoc. You can spend part of the day not wearing them or wake up a few minutes earlier than you already have to in order to put them in. Good luck and congrats on the appointment.I just received an appointment to USMMA, and I don’t have the appointee booklet yet.
