Default I've always considered the ANG / AFR

Hello everyone, it's time for the big first post!

I'm currently enrolled in a 4 year university majoring in Professional Flight Management. (Auburn University, maybe you've heard of it) Anywho, upon graduation I will have around 350 hours including around 50 multi. I will have received ratings for instrument, comm, multi, and potentially CFI. I haven't made my mind up if I want to try my hand at CFI'ing, but I've always loved the idea of flying military aircraft. I don't have any particular desire to insist upon flying fighters, I just want to fly. Period. I saw a previous thread with a similar question, but I'll try to give as much information about myself as possible.

I'm 21 years of age and will be a Junior come Spring 08'.

I've often feared that my vision will be a problem, as I see about 20/60 in each eye but correctable to 20/17. I also have a slight stigmatism in my left eye.

I have a great GPA right now which is hanging around 3.7ish (feel free to round up )

The last bit of criteria that I could see coming into play is the fact that I received a misdemeanor at the age of 20. I plead youthful offender (which I know matters absolutely zilch to people who have access to FBI files such as the military/airlines) and have absolutely NO other blemishes on my record. I have never been in an accident, never had a speeding/traffic ticket, and no other criminal activity whatsoever. (Yes, I will knock on wood at this point in time.)

Would anyone that considers themselves to be in the know provide their input on my chances of getting a pilot slot in the future? I've tried to be as detailed as possible, but if anyone needs to know anything else about myself I would be happy to answer their questions!

Thanks ahead of time!
