I am joining the navy (not SEALS) and am looking to get eye surgery before I apply and ship out. The paperwork will be pushed through by the end of this week and I hope to ship out in 6 months. However, the recruiter told me that if I have eye surgery, it would complicate my acceptance and I might have to wait a year to join. Is this true? Any information you can give me regarding eye surgery and any military enlistment restrictions would be great.
