    lasik surgery requirements for Navy flight school?

    So I read there was a refraction limit your eyes can have prior to the surgery in order to get the waiver for LASIK. I'm not sure what it means but it's measures in sphere and cylinder.

    Penn State NROTC

    Is anyone here part of Penn State's NROTC program? If you were can you share your experiences? I heard they send 7 people to aviation each year and I'm wondering if that is considered a lot of people.

    Question about aviation selection?
