What is the ROTC policy on PRK? I am a non-contracted MS I cadet, and my eyes are well out of requirements, but with PRK, I'm expected to be within the normal guidelines. I will then need a PRK waiver instead of the various waivers I now need.
I know for a fact that there's a 6-month waiting period after PRK to submit my waiver packet, but does anyone know if PRK in itself is a nonwaiverable disqualifier? I'm getting conflicting reports from various sources, and I was hoping someone here would have the answer.
As stated earlier, I'm an MS I so the 6-month healing period shouldn't be a problem, but the issue lies in whether I'll be able to get it before school gets out or I'll have to get it in late-August/early-September, as I'll be in a different place this summer and PRK requires frequent check ups with your surgeon. If I get it done early September and turn in my packet as early as possible in March, I'm not sure if my waiver request will be approved in time for me to contract as a non-scholarship MS III cadet.
(Sigh)
