Default contacts after BC?

Does anyone know if we will be allowed to wear our contacts at "A" school?

Thanks in advance!

Once you are out of boot, you can wear your own glasses or contacts, just remember, your eye sight may change a little and they may need a new scrip...

Absolutely you can. But the Navy won't pay for them, you're on your own there. After boot you can go to base optometry and they will give you 1 free pair of glasses with a frame of your choosing to replace your BCGs with a new prescription for them. But they don't cover contacts.
