I attended BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition School) in 1995. Certain eye problems are disqualifications for entry into the program. There was a student awaiting in the preclass phase until he had completed PRK for both eyes; the military was flipping the bill on this one. While it may be obvious that he knew someone just by the fact he was stationed at the Naval Special Warfare Center with a disqualifying physical situation; its even more suprising that the Navy was paying for it. That was back then. Are you stating that currently the military is not sponsering that operation?
