Default Flying for the Guard

Hello everyone. I'm curious about flying for the Army National Guard. I've heard mixed reports about the vision requirements to fly the blackhawks. I was told that for the military you need a natural 20/20 vision (as opposed to correctable to 20/20 for civ). However some of the people in my unit (I'm a 15P- Aviation Operations Spec) said that I could get a waiver for my vision. What does everyone think?

If it matters, I'm in the WI National Guard.

20/20 correctible is what I hear when I was a recruiter, but check the A.R.
