KA--If you are for real, you have an excellent chance of getting the Guard/Reserves to send you to UPT, if not for your vision. 20/200 may be disqualifying. On another not, I just left active duty at the 10 year point as an O-3 and my takehome pay was $5800/month, not including anything extra like combat zone or hazardous duty pay.
