After obtaining endorsement from a Lt. Col, in the Army Reserves to come on board as a Chaplain, I went ahead and took my medical. All was fine, except my poor vision. I received a letter from Recruiting Medical Office stating that because of my poor vision "requiring the use of lenses that are stronger than those allowed for recruits," that I do not meet "the common medical standard...." The letter concludes "Please contact your Canadian Forces Recruiting Centre for the final decision concerning your application." In other words, I see fine with my glasses on, but too poorly with them off.
At present, I am still waiting for my local Recruiting Centre to receive from file from Ottawa. But many of my contacts in the CF reserves do not know if this standard really applies also to Chaplain Reservists.
If it does, what do people think about Laser surgery? Is it worth the risk??
Anyone?
