Reading up close is fine? Had an eye test yesterday and I asked about lasik. They said if you have distance issue or just reading up close the surgery can only fix one or the other.

Lol... Secret Service Uniform Division requires 20/20 vision. I was denied because of glasses. If I land the gig it'll be cool. I'll have a full scope polygraph security clearance with a job starting at $60K a year. Federal Law Enforcement Officer that requires me to carry my gun all the time even on vacations and when I'm off duty. Not bad right? Abs will always be there under the fur coat lolOriginally posted by rado View PostAb implants :clapback:bout time...oh wait, this is for the eyes. Yea get them checked, you need to have better vision:wave:

I thought all the Secret Service guys were ex special forces types? They don't let in guys off the street, do they? No offense Dana, but I'd be more comfortable with you behind a bank counter than wandering the streets with a concealed weapon!

Don't forget that the SS is also the agency that deals with counterfeit money. You don't exactly need to be former military for that role.Originally posted by Scrumhalf View PostI thought all the Secret Service guys were ex special forces types?

No sir. Uniform Division (UD) are the guys that hang around the white house. Either sitting in blacked out SUV's across the street or being in a empty building across the street.Originally posted by Scrumhalf View PostI thought all the Secret Service guys were ex special forces types?

UD requires a high school diploma, must be able to pass the get a security clearance, pass the physical, and pass basic.
I prepped one of my clients for counter sniper earlier this year.
I'm new to them, eager to learn. I'm actually looking into getting a glock 17 soonOriginally posted by Chadd77 View PostWhat experience do you have with guns dna? Never knew you had any interest. My guess is living in MD you don't own one.
Years and years of experience to get there. You start off with guarding dumpsters near by lolOriginally posted by Scrumhalf View PostYeah, but Dana made it sound like he was going to be on the Presidential detail.
Hell Yeah! And if they disrespect me, I'll arrest them for suspecting terrorism and eat my donutOriginally posted by Turbo3000 View PostLol. Guy wI'll be carrying his gun on every vacation and explaining to everyone that it is ok because he is SS.

Personal trainer. I just started my own company this year.Originally posted by FrankTheTank55 View PostDNA what do you do for a living if you dont mind sharing? You prepped somebody for anti-sniper? Just wondering what line of work includes that.
I live near Fort Meade and I train majority of the military guys/girls that need to get back into shape for PT tests.
Everything to diet and workout regiments.

So I had this surgery done yesterday. First I'll say that it was way more uncomfortable then I expected. Not so much pain wise but having the pressure on your eyeball from them putting things in your eye socket to keep your eye open. Then they cut almost a full circle and pull the clear layer of your eye back and you go blind for a bit. It was weird not knowing if my eye was open or closed. Then you finally see this blinking light and you have to keep your eyeball still and aligned with this light. That was kinda hard to do. But once all that is done the laser only lasts about 20 seconds. Then you can smell the burning smell of you cornea.... It really takes so mental focus!
So yesterday after the procedure I slept most of the day. Today my vision is a little cloudy but they said that is normal and will take a couple days for everything to clear up. I will say that I'm super impressed with how clear my left (bad eye) is now! That eye has never had clear vision and to be able to actually ready with it is pretty awesome.
The one thing I am unhappy with right now is, they made my right eye which is my dominant eye better for distance so anything up close my right eye is blurry. So I have to shut my right eye to see anything up close clearly. But they said once my brain get used to taking information from both eyes everything should be perfect and the eyes will work together. We shall see!
