Do Special Forces need require depth perception? I know HALO requires depth perception. But I've been thinking about joining the National Guard and joining SF?

The reason why I ask is b/c I did my MEPS recently and failed the depth perception, I went to a regular eye doctor afterwards and passed it there.
What did your recruiter say about this?

It is not uncommon for MEPS eye tests to be "off" a little. It's a not a professioanl test. I always advise guys who are boarderline anything in the eye department to get a medical from their Eye Doctor before going to MEPS so that if they do fail they can show their recent "Professional" test.

You will likely require a extensive written doceument from the eye Doctor and request a waiver through your recruiter.

Again, have you talked to your recruiter about this?
