Major T:

Your eyesight could be a show-stopper for ROTC. I'm a ROTC guy, and unless they've changed the rules, you had to have 20/20 uncorrected. Same with OTS. Only the Air Force Academy guys were allowed lenses.

The Guard or Reserves might be able to approve a waiver for glasses.

While several posts here make the Guard and Reserve sound like your best option, keep in mind that getting hired by them is tough---especially as a guy "off the street." They tend to hire guys who have been in the unit for a while in a non-flying position....hiring from within.

And, while extra flyng time might help get you a slot, it almost certainly will not help much at pilot training. I've had two students in the last year that had over 2500 and 4500 hours...and they made the same mistakes as the guys with 50 hours of civilian time.
