Vision not 20/20, but I'd still want to be a pilot

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?

<p>Yes, but you have to be within a specific vision range to begin with.</p>

<p>I would advise you to contact DODMERB for specific medical qualification questions.</p>

<p>Try Larry Mullen, Deputy Director of DODMERB in the DODMERB section of [United</a> States of America Service Academy Forums](<a href=“http://www.serviceacademyforums.com%5DUnited”>http://www.serviceacademyforums.com)</p>

<p>Remember, regardless of your SA choice, you will be an officer first and a pilot second. MANY things can cause you to lose “pilot qualified” status over 4 years, so make sure that you will be comfortable serving 5 years AD if you are NOT flying, just in case.</p>
