<FROM THE WAIVER>
3. Both LASIK and PRK are deemed safe for Airborne, Air Assault and Ranger Schools and applicants are routinely waived by the appropriate waiver authority so long as the other visual standards required for enlistment in the Army are met.. For Ranger School individuals should access the Ranger Training Brigade Web Site at <www.benning.army.mil/RTB/RTBIv1AIN.htm>.
4. Special Operations. Individuals who wish to accomplish additional training in the Special Operations field (combat diver qualification course (CDQC) ; military free fall, (MFF); Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC)) after LASIK should contact the US Army Special Operations Command Surgeon's Office at Ft Bragg (910-432-4261) to determine if they are a candidate for a LASIK waiver and inclusion in their observational study.
