Just curious...did they do away with the "Joint Specialized UPT". When I went through ('94), some of the active duty guys went to Helo training. They didn't know they were going until the drop.
Also, they may have changed the rules about eye surgery, but I'd research this very carefully before I had anything done.
I wouldn't bet next paycheck on this but I'm reasonably sure that you can't get non-volunteered to a helo on assignment night.
Also, the eye surgery thing HAS changed and certain types are allowed. That much I'm certain.
