I had a response but ugh...it could borderline political. Pass

 

Does not Read English or the words are two long to understand?

 

Not mechanically inclined.

 

I hope they work for you !!

Because of all the out of position work I do I ended taking the Dam Glasses off for anything less then 20"

There was just no way after all these years I could relearn How to adjust my head to look at things different

 

I wear mine to drive right now and that’s about it.

 

@six5crèéd - I've been wearing the non-bifocal version of these for at least 15 years but they do come as bifocal:

Personally, I'd choose these over Lasik (even though my wife has been happy with hers) as I'm too weirded out with having surgery on my eyes. I'll poke myself in the eyeball once a month, thanks.

 

I gotta side with not having a Laser fired at my eyes either.

 

I can't stand contacts. I can feel them and it bugs the ever living shit out of me. Like having a sharp plastic disc in my eye.

 

As someone that had Lasik about 8 years ago or so, I love it and would do it again. I had a mild astigmatism which prevented me from qualifying for PRK. That said, I had about 20/400 vision before the surgery and afterwards, I was around 20/15. Unlike others that have had the surgery, my eyes have slowly gotten worse which resulted in me needing glasses again at a much lower prescription. If your eyes aren't staying the same prescription and holding steady for about 2 to 3 years, I wouldn't rush to surgery right off the bat. Once your eyes are steady, then you can pursue surgery. Ultimately, discuss this with your optometrist but that was my experience with Lasik. For the record, I plan on trying to get the surgery again before I retire from the military.

I have an astigmatism too. Also a part of why I'd like it. How's your glare from lights with night driving? Mine is terrible.

 

welcome to the club. I just got my first set of bifocals. Went with the transition lenses so there’s no line.

 

After the surgery I had pretty bad halo's around lights at night for about 6 months or so. Once the medicine eye drops were finished, my eyes readjusted and the halo's were almost nonexistent. That was a risk I was willing to take. I am now back in glasses with 0 halo's at night but that won't prevent me from getting the surgery again.

thanks for your service, Whats your AFSC? Retired here

 

2A571, came in as C-130 crew chief now they have me working C-17s. I would go back to 130's in a heartbeat.

Nice, whats bad about C17?

 

Nothing is wrong or bad about the C-17. Do not get me wrong. If I started my AF career on this jet, I wouldn't have an issue with it. I grew up on the analog AC-130U which is based on a hybrid between the old H2's and H3's. The C-17 is more computerized and takes the fun out of troubleshooting. Lot's of safety sally stuff to slow down work. I worked the -130's for a little over 10 years so it's what I know. I considered myself a SME on that airframe and to transition to a new airframe as an E-6 when everyone I interact with is expecting me to have the same SME skillset is frustrating. So again, nothing wrong with the C-17.

So this seems like a good place to ask this question . . .
For those of you who have worked places that have a formal process for applying for open positions within the company:
Typically there is some period of time in which the job is posted internally. If no suitable internal candidate is found, the job is then posted outside, so anyone can apply.
My question is, once the job is posted outside are people within the company still allowed to apply, or is their window closed?
I’m interested to see what various company policies have been.

Thanks
Don

 

They do that hear, and once its opened to outside, its outside only and they typically will just toss your application. But it's worth a shot. who knows.

 

Company to company is so different.

Internal job postings No one wants the job for the Money!!

Have to suck someone one in from outside

 

I’ve never tried contacts and don’t think I could with all the grinding I do, it’s possible though.
