-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.

How does it make sense? I said its stupid how in the Infnatry its accepted but in the RN its not for a warfare officer (Fleet and Submarine) If the primary intel gathering is eyes, surely id want 20-20, rather then staring at a screen lol. (Astute class SSNs dont even have periscopes)

Madness, no one can get it.

And the post above me, *cringes* Your burnt the carpet right?
