Naval Aviator Slots- HELP!!
Guess I shoulda stayed out of it, huh?
"J.D. Baldwin" wrote in message ... In the previous article, Harriet and John wrote: (I'm given to understand that nowadays another factor in the pipeline "input and throughput" - Training Command jargon - is the impact of Lasix surgery eyesight correction which substantially increases the pool of 20-20 candidates.) Lasix is a medication for people with high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems. LASIK is an acronym for a popular eye surgery to correct vision. LASIK will disqualify you absolutely and irrevocably from any kind of military aviation. The Navy, at the moment, is performing PRK, a completely different and much older kind of eye surgery on some candidates who are then eligible for SNA status if correction to 20/20 is successful. -- _+_ From the catapult of |If anyone disagrees with any statement I make, I _|70|___=}- J.D.
