I was wondering what the specific qualifications were for Navy Fighter pilots. I have not joined the Navy yet, but I currently go to college and am planning to join the ROTC program at ASU as soon as I am transferred there next semester. My PRK surgery is scheduled for 3 weeks from today and I was just wondering if having this surgery disqualifies me for naval aviation even if I had vision of 20/20 or even 20/15 before even joining ROTC. I have been told my some veteran pilots that the Navy will disqualify for absolutely anything they want and that I should just lie and say I have always had perfect vision (the surgeon did tell me that no eye exam would show that I ever had the surgery). I am just worried because it seems impossible that they wouldn't find out because I have been wearing glasses since 1st grade! Any advice would be helpful!
