PRK/LASIK will fix that though. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I3uller Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Sorry to hear that Henry. Like Phrog said though you could go LASIK and be back in the running in 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amhenry Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Sorry to hear that Henry. Like Phrog said though you could go LASIK and be back in the running in 6 months. Yeah that's the plan. They also want those wisdom teeth out before I come back, too. There goes my savings. It's all worth it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhrogGuy Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Got confirmation from my S-1 and Wing G-1 that my conditional release is valid through the end of my contract (Nov). No danger of my release expiring this July. So . . . With a PFT and Bn board left, I should be in for Sept. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
