Hi Everyone!
I have a concern that has been bugging me for a while now.
Since as long as I can remember I have wanted to fly in the Air Force. But my problem is vision. I know that the air force has very strict requirements regarding vision and I would most certainly not meet the requirements (i have myopia -3.25 in each eye). However, I have heard some people say that the air force will pay for someone with bad vision to get PRK or lasik and then they could get a waiver and become a pilot.
Can someone please verify this? It is my dream job... I would do it for free if I had to. I just want to fly so badly and I don't want my vision to get in the way...
Are there any other ways to get around bad vision?
