Hi all, I am after a bit of advice from anybody who has direct experience with OASC.
I got in contact with RAF Recruiting about eyesight requirements for Aircrew and the possibility of laser corrective surgery. I got back this:
"Any candidates having l@ser eye surgery must wait at least 12 months before applying,
you must be at least 22 years of age at your application,
the total pre operative refractive error was not outside the limits for selection i.e. +6 or -6 dioptre in either eye and the best spectacle corrected visual acuity was within selection standards.
Further specialist assessment will also be required following the pre employment medical assessment to confirm ophthalmic fitness for recruit entry."
They didn't answer my question as to whether I would be allowed in to the Service BEFORE having laser corrective surgery. I was told by one of the FJ pilots that laser surgery BEFORE applying may stop me getting in.
What are my options?
