-0.25 is nothing in an eye. Yet thats how much I'm out by in my left. Yet I can be a Royal Marine or a RM Officer. I did a year in the Reserve Infantry and I can safely say you need ebtter eyesight as a slogger then an officer onbaord a submarine.
A very Big, Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot on that one. |
Actually, it makes sense. The primary intelligence gathering tool of the infantryman is his eyes. The primary tool of the submariner is the ears of the sonar guy, along with the periscope, but not so much the last one these days.
