I have a seemingly simple question that I cannot seem to find a solid answer for on this or other forums or the AR 40-501 . If this is the wrong thread or the answer can in fact be found on this site I apologize and if someone could point me in that direction I would greatly appreciate it.
I am prior service currently in the enlistment process under an 18X contract. My vision uncorrected is poor (-5.25 in both eyes) but easily correctable to 20/20 with corrective lenses and no issues with color blindness. My question is, is there a limit on how poor my uncorrected vision can be that would disqualify me from attending SFAS? As previously stated all I or any of the recruiters have been ably to find was in the AR 40-501 that states vision must be correctable to 20/20. I suppose I am just looking for a straight forward yes or no answer, any feedback anyone with experience in this department can offer would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance for your answers.
