Preparing to Enlist as an 18X (Will need medical waivers and ETP's)
Hello all,
My name is Daniel, and I am a 26 year old male currently in the process of preparing myself to attempt to re-enlist as an 18X. I previously enlisted in 2008 as a 42F, but was discharged for getting the wrong medical waiver. I have a condition called nystagmus. I have no criminal record and have a four year degree. I recently underwent LASIK surgery to correct my vision in May 2015. My best vision in both eyes are now 20/40, which is a lot better than the 20/60 nearsight and 20/80 farsight when I enlisted in 2008. I am now currently preparing myself physically and mentally by reading up and gaining more knowledge about the U.S. Army Special Forces in general, their mission and purpose, their history, and experiences from active and former members. I am also looking into the process of being able to re-enlist, including medical waivers and exception to policies. I plan to start all of the paperwork six months out from my LASIK procedure (November), since it is required by AR 40-501. I also want to thank all of the members of the U.S. Army Special Forces, and all members of the Armed Forces, for the service and dedication.
