Does anyone know anyone in the armed forces?
Was wondering as I was thinking about becoming a hellicopter pilot for either the Army/RAF/Navy, and was wondering if army life is as bad as its made to be on crappy Hollywood films.
Anyway, I was reading up on piloting, and I pass all the requirements, except, it says that you aren't allowed to have had surgery on your eyes, now, I haven't, but I also have slightly less than perfect vision, I need to wear glasses to read the board/signs a bit away.
I always thought that you had to have perfect vision to be a pilot, so if you aren't allowed to have had surgery, does laser eye count?
That is supposed to perfect your eyesight without any side-effects.
Just wondering if anyone knew, cheers.

My cousin is/was in the RAF. Can't remember if he still is or not, but he used to fly Hawks and Tornados. Haven't seen him in ages, but I think I've got his e-mail address lying around somewhere, so I can forward your questions on if you want? |

Woo, double post.
Apparently laser eye doesn't count as surgery, so thats one way, I still need to find out the worst vision acceptable though.

I would assume to be a pilot you need 20/20 vision. =).

Theres a difference between not being able to read writing on a board 25 foot away and not being able to tell the difference between a roof and a landing pad...
