I do not believe that you are salvagable here, and clearly do not want to be a contributing guest of value.

I don't want to step on my own crank here, or contradict anyone in anyway but i have a bit of info that may be helpful here. I personally had LASIK before joining the army, prior to joining I had very little knowledge of SF and therefore hadn't even considered the possibility, so i found that LASIK would not disqualify me from service. It wasn't until assembling my selection packet did the LASIK issue come into play, which still didn't disqualify me from SF only from HALO and SCUBA. When i went for my SFAS physical i took in my entire workup and made it known that i had indeed had LASIK and it was not a problem. We as in the US Army are behind the power curve when it comes to the LASIK issue. Individuals with LASIK who are SEALS are eligible for HALO and dive ops, but the SF surgeon will not sign off on 18 series individuals for either school. Currently there is a study being done of civilian skydivers with LASIK so hopefully some good will come of this and individuals with LASIK will be allowed to go to these schools. But the bottom line is that LASIK does not disqualify you from SF, but my recommendation would be PRK, or LASEK to avoid that ass pain. Hopefully this helped out, and as The Reaper said don't be a no integrity dirt bag and lie.

Mike
