So I went to MEPS today and did better than I expected for my distance visual acuity. At first this sounds good but it actually worries me. I was pro-rec for both pilot and NFO, my vision a MEPS was Left 30/40 right 40/20. The reason I think I did better than I expected was because it was a machine I looked through to test my vision, which allowed me to squint. So, my question is, do you always use a machine to test your vision, or has anyone ever used a wall chart recently? Second, my other concern is that if I take my pilot slot, then fail my flight physical later that they will not offer me a spot as an NFO. From personal experience how many people have seen pilots not get offered NFO position when their eyesight is not good enough?
