why do you say having corrected eyesight will remove your chances of going to the cdos? pilots get their eyesight corrected too, and they certainly need it more than the cdos.Originally posted by risenlava:im juz wondering if having corrected eyesight or perfect eyesight by laser surgery will remove all ur chances of going to cdos??? & i keep seeing the word enlistment letter all over the place... wat is tat & do u go for ur vocational assestment before u even go to bmt??? plz help.. thx...
you get your enlistment letter when you are due for enlistment. VAs are for certain vocations, so yes, you will go for them before you go for BMT, to determine if you join the mainstream or that certain vocation. -
i wear specs and do you think they accept bespectacled CDOs?

as i said, VAs are for certain vocations. only if you are found to be medically eligible for those vocations would you be asked to go for the VA to assess your suitability for that vocation.Originally posted by risenlava:you mean EVERYONE goes for VA before bmt??? btw wat is SOF??? i heard of the commandos SOU but nt sof...

i said they will select people who are eligible for these certain vocations based on their medical checkup (and some other background checks). these people will then go for the VA to assess their suitability for those vocations. if u r asking about the assessment done, u will have to wait for forumnites who have the relevant experience or knowledge to enlighten u.Originally posted by risenlava:wat exactly does sof mean??? & hw do they select ppl for certain vocations??? do they juz anyhw choose some ppl to go & see if u make the cut during the interview??? -
damn... im getting realli confused...if im oreddy 18, wats the first letter abt NS tat they sent u ???

I've heard that if u go for Lasik during NS, u will be temp downgraded for 6 months..so I dun know whether u can still be a CDO since it takes a year to train a CDO (unless u going for CCC?), and most prob will end up ORD-ing without enough liability since it's now a 22/24 month NS period

lasik can onli b done when u r 18 of age so it can be done before NS if ur in the later intake... i tink... plz correct if im wrng...
