Should I retake my ASVAB to improve my 114 GT score to make my Warrant Officer Flight Training packet more competitive?

I am getting my WOFT packet together and would like to know if I should retake the ASVAB to get a more competitive GT score. I have a 114 and still need to take the SIFT. I have plenty of time to study for the SIFT and should score above average. I have a 592 ACFT and 270 APFT but need eye surgery. Do you all recommend LASIK or PRK assuming I qualify for both?
I would ask the recruiter this but none are responding to my calls or emails.

Getting a higher than necessary GT doesn't help anything in the Army. No board uses your GT as an evaluation metric for anything. You either meet the minimum requirement for GT and you are qualified to apply, or you do not. Invest your time and energy in other areas

Your best bet is to find some flight warrants in the aviation battalions that you can talk to. You will need to know because you will need to get a recommendation from a senior warrant. I would suggest finding a warrant who just went through all the schools who can help you with your packet.

Back before I went to Iraq I got PRK. I was told that anyone on flight status could only get PRK, not LASIK. You need to confirm which one you’d be allowed to get if you plan on flying. Mind you, that was 06 so things may have changed.

That used to be a thing, but I got LASIK in 2016 and accepted for for flight. I have to get an annual waiver, no big deal
