I joined the USN in September of 1942 and wanted USN. Unfortunately my eyes were deemed not up to snuff due to the fact that I had been a welder and somehow I had a temporary eye weakness. I was offered the chance to delay enlistment for six months to see what would happen but I wanted in so I was USNR. The Navy sent me to signal school so so much for my eye problem.
