Re: Prescription Eyepro Issued for Deployment?
It comes down to communication as usual. At SRP for deployment (and yearly I imagine) they should ask you if you need them. How it happens, more then once... SRP goes down a list and the list they happen to be looking at it doesnt include asking you the question if you have them or not, and someone in your chain of command halfway through the process will remember or someone will remind them that soldiers might need them (you arent alone) so then IF you happen to be in the right place at the right time you will get asked, but if you miss the mark, hopefully down at MOB's med you are asked... lol Its true. Same thing both places (took place with two different units because of (un)organization and not just mine, heard of other times.
Bring it up, to as many as it takes until you are confident they are on their way. But of course not all pesty like, just with your Next in Line at any point now, then at the SRPs and as mentioned, magically they appear at some point. You know when you are getting down to the wire and need to start asking more often.
