Glasses/Contacts

<p>By this point we’re all aware we can’t wear contacts during basic. however, i know personally i could survive just fine without them for 6 weeks. Point being i kinda want to avoid the glasses. That said, do i need to fill out that eyeglass form and such, or would it be better to just ignore it?</p>

<p>If you have a prescription you will be issued glasses. They will expect you to wear those glasses. Don't think you will get an option.</p>

<p>and we will be able to wear contacts right after BCT, right?</p>

<p>Right after acceptance you should be able to wear them if you have them. Potter left hers at her Aunts, and had to wait for parents weekend.</p>

<p>now does that mean that i can BRING them to i-day, but just can't WEAR them until acceptance? or do i have to leave them at home and have my parents mail them to me?</p>

<p>It would be best just to leave them at home and get them later. That's what I will be doing.</p>

<p>i hear if you don't mind them sitting in a bag for 6 weeks, you're okay to bring them to i-day. they'll be thrown in storage. someone correct me if i'm wrong.</p>

<p>well, i guess it depends on if you're a casual contact wearer or not.</p>

<p>i only wear glasses when i absolutely have to, love the contacts. it seems worth it to me to bring a little bottle of solution and one pair, and have my parents bring the rest of my supplies when they come.</p>

<p>i suppose if you didn't really care, you might as well just have parents bring them.</p>
