If they say "no son your eyes ain’t good enough", pull the line and paragraph of the reg and your Opt test and say you want a consult. They will pay to send you to their Optometrist. I had a guy all ready to go 18X, didn't do this when I told him to, was DXed for his eye sight and took an 11B contract. His eye site was with-in Regs.
Otherwise, I don't think you need to be converned about any of what has happened, just advise your recruiter nively that you will take 18X of a bus ticket home.

From AR 40-501:
(3) For Special Forces training: Distant visual acuity of any degree that does not correct to 20/20 in both eyes with spectacle lenses.
As long as it can be fixed with surgery to 20/20 I should be ok from what that says?
Great! I feel very confident going to MEPS this time around. Thank you for your help.
