The conversation is irrelevant since USAFA cadets actually get the surgery during their 3rd year at the AFA. Don’t know how the misconception arose that they didn’t get it until after pilot training. This makes a lot more sense.

Just to clear up confusion:</p>

<p>I went to orientation and spoke with the PRK rep. He told me that if your eyes are between -3.25 and -8.00 you are elgible for the surgery. If your eyes are better than -3.25 then a waiver may be granted for you to proceed to pilot training. Once you complete pilot training, you can ask your commander if you can undergo surgery. So it basically means if your eyes are bad, dont give up hope if you want to become a pilot. </p>

<p>P.S For those who don’t want to become pilots, the surgery can be done your Firstie year.
