LASIK will disqualify you for Military Free Fall. If you can’t attend MFF, you can’t be an STO, CRO, PJ or CCT. It’s a requirement for all of those jobs.

PRK and LASEK are your only two options if you wish to serve in Air Force SOF.

We’ve had better results with PRK and the waiver process is getting faster. For those already on active duty, it’s only a 6 month wait now. For those that have the surgery done as civilians, it is still 1 year but if someone really pushes for the waiver, it can be a bit less.

LASEK is a year regardless, active duty or civilian.

You must wait one full year after the surgery to apply for a position with stringent vision requirements.

The larger question is, just what AFSC are you gonna do, when you don’t become a STO ?

There are only 65 STO’s in the Air Force.

The competetion is so hard, that to even be invited to Phase Two course that only officers applying for STO’s have to complete.

You basicly have to do about 400% better on the PAST test, than enlisted do.

Here are what the Air Force says you should do prior to the Phase Two Officer selection course. ( this is before you start STO training )

Run: 6 miles in 40 mins.
Swim – 1500 meters in 28 mins
Pull ups – 16 to 20
Sit ups 80 to 100
Push ups – 65 to 80

Copare that to the Basic PAST test :

run – 1.5 miles in 10:45
swim – 500 meters in 14 mins
pull ups – 6
Sit ups – 45
Push ups – 45
