I probably could have fought it had I taken a few weeks to research things...but it was the third medical disqualification I had gotten from the AF (1 in AFROTC, 1 at MEPS for active duty, and finally this one for ANG) so I figured God was telling me I wasn't meant to be a military pilot.
Water under the bridge now I suppose...

That's too bad. I think using IOP as a disqualifier is crap. All it means is someday, when you're a very old man, you have a chance to develop Glaucoma, decades after retiring from the Air Force. Why is it the AF's concern for the next 12 years of your flying career? The kicker is that its not even disqualifying once you're rated.
