<p>I think that Spec Ops have vision requirements that are as strict as or more so than pilot vision requirements. That is where the original idea of laser eye surgery for the military came up–for special forces so that they would not have to worry about glasses/contacts in a combat situation. Then the whole idea gradually branched out to pilot/nav and beyond. Unfortunately, I know that spec ops out of USAFA is pretty competitive simply because there aren’t a whole lot of spots that trainees can be placed, especially officers. Similarly, getting a SEAL officer slot out of USNA is very competitive. Honestly guys, I think that the people that end up doing spec ops out of USAFA put that down as their first choice, not their second (behind pilot). Of course, things could change in the future…</p>
