Reference the FAR's, the ATP written is good indefinitely for military as long as you are/were an active flyer with a unit. Cheers

Pilot watches
Ditto on the Casio Pathfinder. I've had one for 2 years and no issues. Backpacking, skiing, etc. Solar power/auto sync w/ Ft. Collins every night/no battery to change are all a plus. And its only about 100 bucks.

Red Lens Test Waiver
PM me and i can give you some specifics if needed. Short story, I went through this 10 years ago, failed red lens test. After a 3 day eval at Brooks, they determined I had mild esophoria of the right eye, normal, normal on everything else ie 20/10 vision etc. There is a study group ongoing in the AF (several dozen of us??). If everything else checks out, they will give you a waiver, put you in the study group, and you'll have to follow up once a year taking various tests (intra-ocular pressure, Humphrey visual field test, etc.) This is done to see if the condition worsens with age. Mine was determined to be congenital (since birth).

AFRC/ANG and the Post 9/11 GI-Bill
Yes, JS has it right. About a year ago the VPCGR/ARPC whatever had a section specifically for requesting a cert letter. Magically, it has disappeared since then. Just use the misc. "request other documents" link and they'll process the app. Expect a phone call (which was unexpected but nice) from ARPC in a few weeks just confirming the information they have calculated.

Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate
Careful here. You are only allowed a total of 48 mo. of GI bill benefits in your lifetime. I burned 34 mo. of GI bill in the '90's for my basketweaving degree leaving me 14 mo. of total benefits remaining. I have recently transferred these benefits to post 9/11 status leaving me with still 14 mo of GI bill left.
