I would think hard about the pros/cons of the AFA.

Pros,
first 2 yrs are free
60% of grads continue on to flight school
even if your vision isn't perfect, you will go to pilot training (how blind you can be depends on the yr)
great education

cons,
it is not a real school, so the closest you will come to the typical college experience is the prep school and the occasional weekend
people will yell at you from time to time during your first year
you don't get summers off, but there are a lot of good times to be had.


Like any school, it is what you make it. Keep your sense of humor and you'll likely make it through fine.

Do the ROTC thing and have your vision go from 20/20 as a senior......will more than likely lose your pilot slot and off you go into the career you didn't want.
