Hi everyone,
I will be graduating from college in a couple of months (UC Berkeley, physics/astronomy double major, 3.0 GPA) and am considering enlisting in the nuclear program. My main concern right now is my vision: left eye -8.5, right eye -7.0. I read on one of the forums that the minimum requirement is -8.0. What are the chances that i can get a waiver for this? I showed my recruiter the result for the eye exam and he just told me to let the MEPS people can find out for themselves when i get tested. If i do end up failing the vision part of the physical does that prevent me from joining the navy all together or do i get to choose some other rating that has a lower requirement (currently debating between nuke and corpsman)?
