No other service has told be they would take eye surgery and no pre-approval or "guaranteed" flight slot. I've been bugging my local Guard unit for the past 6 years and still no dice, but wondered if there is anyone out there that is better informed.
The guard requirements are the same as the active AF. I don't wear specs but the last I knew of was 20/70 correctable to 20/20. Worse than that and you needed a waiver.
