Well I defianately learned the hurry up and wait lesson today. Arrived at MEPS at 5:20, I then proceeded to the Army office where I was the first applicant to arrive all I needed to do was enlist. The liaison told me "Your the first one in line, shouldn't be to long." Fast forward to 2:30 pm and I finally talk to a job counselor, who then tells me that I am perfectly qualified except for my vision. I have perfect 20/20 in one eye and 20/40 correctable to 20/25 in the other. Apparently you have to have perfect 20/20. Anyone know of any way around this? This has felt like the longest day ever!!!! Anyone know the vision requirements or a way around them?

thanks
