Why get it before you enlist? You can get it done following basic training and get a military discount if not free depending on your field.
Talk to your recruiter to get the most accurate information.
Don't seek advice from someone who has neither been in service nor had LASIK.

NO!!! you are able to no longer FLY contained in the AIR rigidity in case you have HAD LASIK EYE surgical treatment! The reasoning is that as a pilot you will appearing manuevers that are annoying on your physique/eyes. Lasik surgical treatment comprises making a flap out of the cornea, and at severe g's, the end result's definitely, painful. because of the fact of this the protection rigidity conducts PRK (photoretractive keratectomy).

No, this is not true. However, it may affect your ability to select certain military occupational specialties which require 20/20 vision or have other vision restrictions (pilots, for example). They may disqualify you even with the surgery for such positions, but enlistment is OK. Go for it!
Better yet, go Army!

I would check it out with an AF recruiter before I do anything.

To my knowledge, no. LASIK is fine.
