I really want to join the Air force! BUT:(?

Question

I have a glass eye can I really be a pilot? I always wanted to be one!

Answer 1

No, you won't be able to fly in the military.

However, you might still be able to join the Air Force.

Answer 2

no, i wanted to do that but they said i'm too fat

Answer 3

you can still join the air force, but the jobs will be limited...do more research first, look into the army, i think its better. the air force only gives you a 25% chance of getting the job you want anyways, army gives you a 100% chance of getting the job you want as long as your are capable.  you won't be able to be a pilot in either branch, however there are other jobs you can be related to planes or helicopters. for example i always wanted to be a helicopter pilot, however, i dont pass the physical tests recquired to be one, i always was set on the air force too, until i found out i only have a 25% chance of getting the job i want, i am now joining the army to be a medic, which means i get to jump out of helicopters and fly in them, however i don't get to drive them, look into the army, they have a larger variety of jobs and i'm sure you can find something you would like related too flying ! i went in and told them i always wanted to be a pilot or a nurse, well, they kinda combined the job for me :)

Answer 4

Sorry.  No way can you be a military pilot with one eye.  Private pilot yes, I know a few guys who have a private license and have one eye.

Answer 5

You can if you get surgery to correct it, but thats not the real question here. The real question is can you pass the incredibly difficult training.

Answer 6

Not a pilot, sorry, hon. Don't let that stand in your way of serving tho!!

And wow, I learned something else amazing today, that surgery can correct a glass eye, according to one of the answers.

Answer 7

sorry buddy.. but you need at least 20/20 vision in each eye to fly a plane in the airforce. i am in the same boat....minus the glass eye.. but i wanted to fly real bad.. and found out you neededvision in each eye at the very least.. sorry for that unfortunate news
