    Not quite exactly what's happened. All NSR are Seaman's division which requires Grade 1 eyesight. The requirements for the other NS divisions are lower.

    NSR recruits (seaman's division by default) now only require the lower visual acuity grade 3. So it's in line with other areas of the NS but now not in line with the same branch in the NS. Should help recruitment though.
    Eyesight for NS Seaman's branch has also been reduced to grade 3 by an amendment to Admin instruction A10. The NS and NSR are fully in synch on this matter.

      I wasn't aware that the NS Seaman's branch had also changed. It certainly makes sense for a number of reasons.

      - A variance with the NSR was never going to helpful going forward. No 'lower standard'.
      - Better for recruiting.
      - Realistically vision can be corrected and many in for a few years will find their vision will move out of the initial high standard with time anyway.
