By the way, if you're trying to go Guard, Reserve, or Active Duty, you'll need to be working with a different recruiter for each. One will usually not help you go to the other unless you've been denied by Guard/Reserve then they might help you go Active Duty. If you have a specific Unit in mind I would call that Unit's recruiting office to start off, then they should direct you to an Officer Accessions Recruiter who may be working multiple units including that one.
Ok and I would ask them what the real requirements are and hopefully run it up the chain of command? I know many USAF pilots wear glasses and have gotten waivers hopefully mine isn't as bad as I think. I'm going to eye doc next week to get checked.
Would I have a better chance going active duty then guard/reserve? Are there active duty units like there are reserves? Sorry for all the questions. Also what will I be asking the officer accession recruiter? If my eyes are ok the way they are or if I can get PRK
