A magic contact lense to make your eyes better for a two-day screening at Brooks City Base...sounds like a pipe dream to me. I feel lucky to be in with 20/40 in one eye and 20/30 in the other! I feel confident that the system cannot be duped with the number of tests they make you take.
i will concur with TankerDriver on his post concerning down-time duty. It's definately not the flying career I was expecting, but then again I don't spend most of my life in the desert either.
The pay is very good and the benefits even better. The USAF health care benefits are extremely valuable.
With 20/200 vision, though, I doubt you'd get picked up.
