As my signature shows, I've been accepted to NAPS and have the principal nomination and am 3q'd for USAFA (so I should get a BFE one of these days ).
In my DoDMERB eye exam, the optometrist told me my left eye is at 20/25 and my right eye is at 20/50. I want to fly, and I know this is right at the cutoff point for USAF and past the cutoff point for USN and USMC (at 20/40 I believe).
What are the chances for waivers from any of these branches (USAF, USN, and USMC) for eyesight, and if the chances are slim, should I start aiming for a different career after an academy?
