first off these other people dont know what they are talking about. 23 years old is just fine to be sf. 135lbs is just fine they will only not select you if you are over weight or over your body fat percentage. the near sighted might be a problem but now they will give you laser eye surgery so that wouldnt really be a problem. next you would most likely need to get a security clearance to go sf. so if you messed up you will be cault up on it. i have been in the army for over 4 years so i think i know a little more then the rest of these people.

It's up to the CO and maybe the BCN if they want you to go. Upon graduation, SF soldiers are normally promoted to E-5, so they have the right to retain you if they don't think that you are ready to be a NCO. Age requiremtnes, funding issues, available slots are also factors that will weigh in on your chance of getting the school.\n\nDid you enlist under the 18x option? If so, then I believe you have the right to attend the school after a sufficient TIS. If not, then it is a commander's decision.

NO!  He would have a hard time just surviving basic training if he is blind in one eye.  He would pose a danger to himself and others in a real combat situation, The military won't take him. College would be my suggestion...

they give you glasses to wear for boot camp so you dont have to worry about having a lense pop out or get dirt in it.  Trust me you will spend a good amount of time in dirt, or sand.  You dont want you glasses or contacts going through that.  Use their glasses, they are free and you dont need to worry about them breaking.  Once a year the corps will give you a free pair of "civilian" glasses, they are actually a nice pair of glasses, but you dont want them in the field.

First of all you need to list yourself as an Organ Donor and have that put on your driver's license. MAKE YOUR WISHES KNOWN TO YOUR FAMILY!!! Also, I suggest you write a living will.\nI know 2 people who have benefitted from the surgery and the only complication was the adjustment back to being sighted again, which was easily treated with physical and psychological therapy. Both are very happy with their "new" sight.

Generally safe, assuming the patient is a good candidate.  Factors that might make you a poor candidate are thin corneas, irregularly-shaped corneas, very high prescription and very large pupils.

well i had a -4.25 in one eye and a -3.5 in the other and i had BAD vision, so you must be blind as a bat. Go get lasik surgery, i did. Best thing ever.

Basic answer: no.\nReduced IOP has been associated with marijuana use, but that hardly classes as "natural."\n\nIn the absence of any other factors pressure readings around 23 are not that worrying, provided regular check-ups are performed, at  6/12  to 1 year intervals.\n\nYou don't need to worry about eyestrain or any other sort of activity, or nutrition unless it is significanlty deficient.\n\nIOP's are not as important as they were thought to be 10-15 years ago.  Then it was quite clear.  High IOP's (anything much over 20) meant glaucoma.  It was then discovered that some people ran their eyes at significantly higher pressure without any apparent harm.(Ocular hypertension).  \nJust to complicate it further, it has also been discovered that some people develop glaucoma while having quite normal IOP's (low-tension glaucoma).\n\nSo you can have pressures up to 30 and be OK, and be in trouble with pressures of 12 -16 mmhg.  But both would be unusual.\n\nIf ocular hypertension is confirmed, all it should mean is more frequent eye-checks than the average.  Field tests and optic nerve examination.should keep they eyes safe.  Having good records, the mentioned "benchmark", will help.  In such cases the pressure doesn't give us much of a guide. \n\nBest wishes.\n(UK optometrist)

There's no reason why your nearsightedness should interfere in your weight training, unless your lifting weights with your eyeballs. Just make sure if you wear glasses that they're secured by an elastic or headband so they won't slide off your nose if you get all sweaty.

Partly blind.   If you are partly blind, you must get a certified statement from an eye doctor or registered optometrist that: \nYou cannot see better than 20/200 in the better eye with glasses or contact lenses, or\n\nYour field of vision is not more than 20 degrees. \n\n\n  If your eye condition will never improve beyond these limits, the statement should include this fact. You must keep the statement in your records. \n\n  If your vision can be corrected beyond these limits only by contact lenses that you can wear only briefly because of pain, infection, or ulcers, you can take the higher standard deduction for blindness if you otherwise qualify.

yes go to an optometrist

You must be 20/20 correctable vision. Yes you can wear contacts.\n\nGlasses are not allowed due to the possible reflection they may give. \n\nAlso it isn't just a bullseye at a 1,000 meters... Try placing 3 shots inside a dime from that distance.\n\nOoh-Rah!

Well, if I understand your question correctly, the answer is:\nYou can have lasik eye surgery and be ok for your pre-employmnet medical test, IF you have it 6 OR MORE MONTHS PRIOR to the medical test.

That would be no problem at all.  \nDo I need some sort of qualifications?  \nI am extremely good looking.. would that hamper any work situation.  If the entry ways are too narrow, I may find it hard to get around, considering my massive muscles.  Also the only other thing that I'd be concerned about is being far superior in intellect than my coworkers, they may bore me.  If those normal issues can be addressed I'd be sure willing to come to where ever it is that you live and simply take over.  Any other deeds you need performed?

You can't join the FBI unless you're a citizen.\n\nTo carry out its mission, the FBI needs men and women who can fill a variety of demanding positions. To qualify as an FBI Special Agent, you must be a U.S. citizen, or a citizen of the Northern Mariana Islands, at least 23 and not have reached your 37th birthday on appointment. Candidates must be completely available for assignment anywhere in the FBI's jurisdiction. Candidates need to have at least 20/20 vision in one eye and not worse than 20/40 vision in the other eye. If an individual has a satisfactory history of soft contact lens wear and is able to meet correction to 20/20 in one eye and no worse than 20/40 in the other eye, safety concerns are considered mitigated and applicant processing may continue. In addition, policy for color vision allows continuation of applicant processing if those who fail initial color vision screening are able to successfully complete the Farnsworth D-15 color vision test.\n\nI can't say for all police departments, but my guess is the same thing.  For example, the San Jose police requirements include US citizenship or at least application for citizenship.\n\nhttps://www.eomniform.com/servlet/FillForm/Personnel_Recruiting/PolRec2006
