As I said, I have no bitterness about it. The military has to have certain standards, and better to have tried than not.

I hope this answers your questions, Ranger Matador275.

"I woulda been, but....." Dude, I had 20/400 vision and shoot Expert to this day. Please share with this fellow astigmatic how I missed out on that easy discharge.

My eyesight is correctable with lenses, but it's actually one diopter /beyond/ what the Army allows, if I recall correctly. It's been a while.

This sounds like the kind of issue that would have shown up in a MEPS physical and kept you out of BT entirely, not something that would have become apparent through your inability to hit a 150m target.

Something smells funny in here.
