I have an appointment. Darn.

Really though, I got my surgery date to have my face cracked open and rebuilt. I'm sure nothing can go wrong with this plan.

And yet I still wasn't able to get eye surgery, either pre- or post-deployment, despite being in a job where good eyesight (preferably without corrective lenses) is important.

Huh.

p.s. gently caress you, Army

I just paid for mine out of pocket and never told anyone about it so I didn't have to get a profile. My eyesight just miraculously got better one day.

Were you the dude that got PRK or RK or something and it felt like someone held you face down over an electric citrus juicer, or was that someone else?

I got my eyeballs all lasered up a couple of years ago. Haven't had any problems yet!

In other news, it's been in the mid 20s in the morning here, and because some dumbass private forgot or lost his PT pants, nobody was allowed to wear theirs, because uniformity. And because cold weather injuries aren't a real thing quit complaining I don't care how blue your toes are.

Nah. I'm the guy that got it 4 months before stepping off the plane in Afghanistan, which is like waaaay out of profile for people with PRK. Because gently caress wearing glasses or contacts while deployed.

PRK wasn't that bad. The first week sucks, but after that it's fine.

Apparently I have some kind of calcification on my eye and they were afraid the process would aggravate it and permanently blind me. Getting corrective eye surgery and coming out blind sounds about on-par with my experience with Army medicine, though.

I had PRK and was like the only dude who had a bad reaction to everything and would essentially vomit as soon as I saw light. I can see fine now.

EIB competition is the only thing I ever heard infantry do in Djibouti.

Like non loving stop. We had potential for another Benghazi, and some of these retards didn't wanna go to kill people save the ambassador because EIB.

E: killing people chance was very low. But still I thought it'd get more people rowdy.

Weird, all of our NCOs and a decent amount of our junior enlisted have combat patches. It's mostly us LTs and the rest of the junior enlisted that haven't deployed.

When I was FORSCOM, we had PFCs walking around with combat patches in garrison. Now that I'm INSCOM, there are SSGs and SFCs walking around slick-sleeved. It just depends on the environment.
