I'm applying to for a pilot slot. I make the minimum 20/40, but I wear my glasses the majority of the day. Is it rare to see pilots wearing glasses?

From what I hear it's actually quite common. But your 20/40 uncorrected by a civilian doctor might very well be 20/60 when examined by a military doctor.

Thanks for the info. I applied with 20/40 correctable to 20/20. My OSO said that I made the minimum, so I'm hoping he's right. I guess I'll find out when the selection board looks at my application.
