Also, I know the Marines as (of 3 years ago) when I was in were doing the lasik surgery for as many personnel as they could with critical MOS's. However, I would not know what the Army/SF policy is on the subject of corrective surgery. I plan on joining the Army as well within the next year and too would like to try for SF. Please feel free to PM me with any info you come up with and I in turn will do the same for you if I find anything useful out.

You might want to do some reading of the stickies and introductions before posting further.
I would recommend that you not dispense advice to potential SF personnel here, since there are quite a few people here who do know the answer, and you are not among them.
If you have had LASIK before going SF, you are DQed for SF according to our medical standards which are described elsewhere here.
Have a very SF day.
