Cherokee,
The biggest hurdle that you'll have to face is your vision. I'd find a flight doc that understands the military medical. I've known guys to pass an FAA class I, but fail Brooks AFB. If you want to persue the military option, don't forget the guard and reserve. These are both great options that will give you the military training without the fulltime committment. You will save money and can get to a major about as fast as going to the regionals. However, don't forget that nothing in this world is free, especially Freedom. If you raise your hand make sure that you are ready to do your duty. You will still need a 4 year degree in somthing to get hired by a guard or reserve unit. Good luck with your decision, I think that your eyes have made it for you.
