College Confidential - View Single Post - Vision not 20/20, but I'd still want to be a pilot

Hi, my vision is not 20/20, as I wear contacts. I heard that the Navy will pay for you to get Lasik or PRK, if they think you will make a decent pilot, but you still have to have decent vision. I was wondering if the CG had something like this?

I think it would be really cool to fly C-130s or Search and Rescue helicopters in the CG, but I've always shot down that idea because of my vision, but maybe now I can, but I'm not expecting or getting my hopes up too much.

Thanks
