    Living on base

    How easy is it for military officers to get living quarters on base? I am thinking along the lines of a small appartment, not a dorm.

    Quick question, Failing NOMI physical

    So let me get this straight. You are allowed to wear glasses when flying only if your vision is 20/40 or better? If its worse than 20/40, you have to get surgery for sure, though?

    Living quarters on or off base?

    While in flight training, where do you live? Is it possible to live on base? Is it free, or if not, how much does it cost? Do you need a car, or is everything in walking distance? Thanks

    A quick little question

    I was wondering, at what part of flight training are you able to choose what type of aircraft you will fly? I would assume it is at the begining sometime.

    Any bad experiences with PRK?

    I Have not heard many gripes about PRK, and since I am considering getting this procedure done, I thought I would ask if anybody has had any problems with it. Also, what is it like getting the surgery? I have heard there is little discomfort and the recovery time is not too long, and your...

    Basic questions about Marine Officers

    Thanks a lot for your time. About the eye surgery, I would hate to get the surgery and then find out I can not be a pilot. I have heard that the Marines will do it for free, is this true? Also, I know that PLC is during summer of sophmore and junior years, but does this mean between freshmen...

    Basic questions about Marine Officers

    I am going into my senior year of high school and have been giving thought to becoming a marine officer, a pilot if possible. I am fairly athletic and have a 1330 on the SAT. I plan on attending college for 4 years, in the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M. I have answered most of my questions...
