Question Looking for a military career

I have always wanted to join the Air Force as a pilot, but I have a few questions that hopefully can be answered by the individuals of this board.

Here's a my current background:
Age: 22
Certificates: ASEL, AMEL, CFI (all with instrument rating)
Education: 4 year BS, Summa Cum Laude


1) What is the vision requirement to join?
a. My vision is something like 20/200. I have heard that you can use special contact lenses to temporarily change the shape of your eye, and thus improve vision to get through the initial vision screening. After the screening is passed, your vision can then diminish to its previous state with no recourse from the USAF. Once you're in, you're in mentality I guess.

2) What is the payscale like?


3) More Q's to follow, but this is a start.


Thanks for the input!
