I am currently a Senior in high school, and I will be attending Auburn University next year. I really want to become a Marine Corps officer but I especially want to be a Naval Aviator preferably helos. I want to attend PLC air next summer, but I'm not sure about my eyesight. I currently wear contacts corrected to 20/20 they are -2.75. Is there any waiver I can apply for if I don't meet the 20/40 minimum, or will I just have to find a different MOS.

Marine Corps Aviation Eyesight

There have been countless threads started about eyesight required for aviation, so use the site's search function and find them! But in short, you need 20/40 vision correctable to 20/20 to be a pilot. If you are worse than 20/40, eye surgery is always an option.
I was able to pick up an air contract with 20/80 vision. My advice would be to get your contract, finish OCS, and then get the surgery like I did. As always though, your OSO will have more up to date info than anyone here.
