Introduction, and a question regarding Lasik

[toothbrush]

Hello, all.
My name's James. I'm 22 and a senior at UIC, majoring in neuroscience. I plan to enlist within the next 6 months, hoping to get option 40 in my contract. Seeing as I'd be unable to ship out till at least Sept '10, I have plenty of time to wait for a slot to open.

Current PT scores:
80 pushups
100 situps
15 min 2 mile run

I know, my 2 mile is pathetic. It doesn't help that I've smoked and lived a relatively sedentary lifestyle for the last 5 years.

Anyway, here's my situation/question:
I'm interested in getting Lasik done BEFORE I enlist. I know it's free after, but I'd rather not have to deal with glasses. That and it'd be a going away present from my parents.
I've searched quite a bit, but haven't been able to find any solid, up-to-date information on Lasik and BAC. (I found this: http://forum.armyranger.com/viewtopic.p ... 66&start=0. It's PB's story about getting option 40 with PRK. Does anyone know if the regulations have changed?) If I do get Lasik before I enlist, does this DQ me from getting Option 4 or 40 in my contract?
And if Lasik isn't a disqualifier, how long do I have to wait before MEPS? I've heard 6 or 12 months, but no one seems to be certain. And how long is the required wait period from surgery to BAC?
If Lasik is a disqualifier for Option 4 or 40, is it waiverable?

I have an appointment in two weeks for a lasik evaluation, but will cancel if it is a guaranteed DQ. I do plan on talking to a recruiter very, very soon, but figure I'd ask you knowledgeable folk first.

Thanks!
