Fighter Jet Force
Is it possible to fly jet in the air force with less than perfect vision?
Just wondering if there is any possibility of someone with near-sightedness to join the air force, with the possibility of becoming a jet-fighter pilot. I've always heard that most, if not all, pilots have perfect 20/20 vision or better. I've also read that those with Lasik eye surgery are not allowed to become jet pilots since there are concerns regarding their safety. Can someone please shed some light. Thank you!
It depends on how severe your vision:
Currently it's 20/70 correctable to 20/20.
No colorblindness, astigmatism or nightblindness
Good depth perception.
If you wear hard contacts, quit.
If you wish to surgically correct your vision, PRK is the preferred method. LASIK has the danger of the flap becoming displaced under high negative-G maneuvers.
If you have any other questions please PM me.

For the smarta#%$ dissing my bro's, well MAYBE if the Brits used the proper procedures to mark their locations, and MAYBE if they let others in the command chain know what they were doing, friendly fire incidents would be minimized.

Can a member of the Air Force fly in a fighter jet?
I understand that not all can become pilots, but how difficult is it to have the opportunity to fly in an F-15, F-16 as a "pleasure ride" if someone is a member and works on the aircraft itself?
depends on how high your rank is and who you know
