Air Force and PRK

[willfly4food]

Does anybody know the Air Force's stance on PRK? I got it two years ago. Thanks.

I think the AF only grants waivers for refractions of -5.50 and below unlike the Navy/MC who grants waivers up to -8.00. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this one.

Hey, you may want to check out this website:
https://www.afms.mil/aeromed/USAF_PRK.cfm I think you will find it very useful.

Thanks everybody. The info was very helpful.

Tailhook, are you going the AF route? I heard it was a 12 month wait (instead the Navy's 3 month) for PRK candidates before they could apply to OTS.

As of right now, I'm gonna keep trying to go the Navy route. I'm only 21 and am planning on taking the ASTB again around March. I'm hoping to get BDCP even though I only have one semester of college left, which may disqualify me from that.

ow do you go about getting PRK during NROTC?
