Exactly who they were, actually. (And one enlisted AF guy)

Good to know. Thanks.

I'll find that out. I'm 20/300 in each eye (near sighted) and still correctable to 20/20 with contacts at the moment.
Related question: Would it better to have PRK done before approaching a guard unit and or do I need to be picked up by a unit first and get them to be okay with me still needing PRK before going to training?
Here's the question you need to ask yourself. What are your long term goals? Are you willing to give up 20-30% income potential by joining the enlisted ranks just so you can be on an airplane?
I have two long-term goals: 1) Be paid a livable wage to be a pilot, civilian or military.
2) Serve in the military.
I've considered taking an enlisted position in aviation and then pursuing on officer's commission. I'm still young enough for that (26).
