i've started the application process and am applying for aviation

good find

you'd think they could come up with something batter than aardvark for a plane like that

this thread covers that pretty well for anyone who wants (some) specifics http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php/153281-quot-THE-WORD-quot-at-tbs-right-now-about-API?daysprune=365

the waiver guide says that it's a 3 month wait if you're refraction now is less than than -6 and 6 months if it's worse than -6. if you're farsighted (prescription is +X.00) then it's a six month wait... as for it looking bad turning down NFO and re-applying trying to get SNA looking bad, i...

+5.5 and +6 I was worried about something like this. I'm gonna try and get on as NFO

I'm pretty sure your oso is wrong on this one... the waiver guide says nothing about what your pre op vision was (20/XX), it only talks about pre op refraction. your prescription is fine so assuming all goes well you should get it waivered. as far as your timeline, i'm not 100% sure about...

Congrats to everyone who made it... Hope I get to join you in a couple years

ok for anyone who is still wondering, the pre op refractive limits are definitely -8 to +3. that's confirmed by some one from NOMI he said that changes could be made but he doesn't see any occurring in the near future, though i don't know what his definition of near future is

thanks for the info... just found out that my refraction is too high to get waivered even after PRK so i guess it doesn't matter i think i still want to go in as an NFO though

i did a search but couldn't really find anything that fits this question.. I want to go to PLC this summer and plan to start the application process very soon. However, I would need to get PRK surgery to be able to do the aviation option. Ideally I would want to be able to go this summer...

i'm pretty sure my prescription falls outside the waiver-able limits (+6 and +5.5) although i would still be willing to be an NFO, though i worry about what will become of them in the future of the marines... don't want to end up "flying" uavs

i've had a difficult time trying to find info that doesn't contradict other info i've found... deez, was that limit +/- 3.5 or just -3.5? also, does can anyone give an estimate as to roughly how often they revise the limits?

webmaster, when i click those links you posted i get a message saying "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

i can sit at my computer for hours reading through articles or watching youtube videos of military aircraft.. i guess passion is what separates the people who become pilots from the people who don't ...i think i have enough passion but maybe not the eyesight :/
