Ok so im a senior in high-school and i am seriously looking at becoming either an air-force or naval pilot. i've been thinking about this a lot in the past few years and im not looking into it for the wrong reasons. However there are a few things that have worried me in terms of eligibility and i have a few questions.
1. Im having trouble deciding between air force and navy in terms of being a pilot and im trying to decide between the two. i also want to know which would be better in terms of possibly raising a family in.
2. I am roughly 6 foot 3-5 inches tall and want to fly fighter jets. Will I still be able to fly them or will I be too tall to fly them?
3. My vision is 20/200 without glasses but is correctable to 20/20. Is it possible to still becoming a fighter pilot with this condition or would i need to undergo LASIK surgery or PKR surgery and if so which is best. I have heard that lately they have been allowing pilots to fly who have had the surgery but im still not sure.
4. with all of this considered i am in extremely good physical condition, im a high-school swimmer who can put up state qualifying times (probably doesn't matter at all) and im a big leader on the team. i also have a 4.6 GPA on a 5 point scale. I also have no flight experience what so ever but im a quick learner. With all of this considered are my chances of being able to become a pilot?
If some one could help answer at-least one of these questions i would be extremely grateful. ive wanted these questions answered for a long time and i feel like this is the best site to get the answer. thanks again.
