I have two years of college left and I am in the process of getting my PPL. I spoke with a USAF recruiter and was told that having a PPL will make me a much more attractive candidate to fly. I don't care what I fly or if it's active, reserve, or guard, although my favorite aircraft is the C-130. It was the first airplane I got to see up close, at an air show at Dobbins AFB.

Also, would having 20/50-20/60 vision be a major problem? I see 20/10 with glasses. As I understand, you can get a waiver if it's not too bad.
