Ah yeah, I've read that a few times. Well, if I didn't love every second of being strapped into an aging 152 and a 172, then I wouldn't be putting every fibre in my body behind this.
The cost as well is what's prevented me from going up recently, the local HJ's laid me off because they were "Overstaffed", and that was a year ago. The part-time job front hasn't been looking very good to me lately, however I think I might be able to get in for work experience at RAAF Pearce about this time next year.
Yeah, I've had an extensive read on Laser Surgery in the past few months, including a Defence Health Article relating directly to the issue. Are there any School-Leavers currently at ADFA now or in the RAAF after having succesfully gone through the process after undertaking LASIK/LASEK? I sent an e-mail to DFR about the issue, they told me eyesight for aircrew positions was assessed on a case-by-case basis. So either way, I'm going to wait until the medical and see what they have to say.
