ask about halo effects on night time vision and if they are likely to follow on from the particular form of eye surgery you are considering first, and if so, ask if you will be considered for pilot training if your night vision is marred by halo effects.
Mr. House Huh, not really, if I can recall correctly. To enter the training, you can have 20/40. But it must be correctable to 20/20( with glasses or contact) during training. And LASIK is accepted since 2009 ( with restrictions) by NAVY/MC for aviators. They do change the rules from time to time. Also, uncorrected vision generally refers to naked eyesight, without glasses or contact. Even after LASIK, it will still be called uncorrected vision if the subject is not wearing glasses.
A couple things about this are wrong: You don't have to have 20/20 vision, and you do not report to your fleet duty station for advanced. Advanced is still flight school in a trainer aircraft.
You do have to have a college degree to become an officer. What you can do is enlist while in college and get your degree. Or if you choose to join after high school you can work your way up to a certain extent, but you must have a degree in order to become an officer.
@94ZKing without, if you have it before they begin training you you're fine because of how extensive the training is if your vision worsens and is correctable then you'll be able to keep working
I believe you can be qualified for flight training if your eyes are better than 20/40 uncorrected, but must be corrected to 20/20. Do not get corrective eye surgery such as LASIK as they can potentially disqualify you.
Do not quote me, i believe they allow you to have 20/40 vision (correctable to 20/20) Then after training, if your eyesight deteriorates to 20/200 (i believe) you may stay but if any worse you are restricted to aircraft with only dual controlls. If you want to fly the Ah1z Viper, you can't because in a normal operation, one person is Flyer and one is gunner. But you can fly the UH1y Venom or the Ch53e, as they have a pilot and copilot both able to take control.
You can become a Marine Corps pilot if you correct your vision with LASIK. It's expensive but will definitely be worth it. I have friend who is in flight school for the Marines and he says that most of his buddies got LASIK.
@YewMakeMeLolz Yes. You are considered a US citizen if you were born in the US. However, if selected, you will have to swear all your loyalty to the US.
My vision is pretty F-ed up to say the least but i wear contacts every day Is it possible to get a wavier for using contacts or will i be able to get approved surgery before I start flight training?
I would love to be a marine fighter pilot only thing is I’ve been out a minute. I almost have my associates and I’m working towards a bachelors but I’m wondering if it’s even worth applying for it. I mean I have glasses my visions like 20/19 without it. But is it even worth it for me.
SDMIII : For most people becoming a pilot in the military especially the marine core is worth it. And just check the website for requirements for vision. I think you just need to correct it to 20/20. An important thing to mention is make them say “No” to you. Self Doubt can block you potential in serving the country. Hope this helps
Graduating with my Mechanical Engineering this semester and I think this is a cool route to explore!!! I will update. Currently talking to an Officer trying to get into the Aviation Pipeline. =)
I ended up NOT joining the military because they are vetting me too hard. I’m tired of all the paper works and waivers. I ended up working for a large company instead. I enjoy it so far, great be benefits and work balances. I’m actually get to do engineering work and get to see my family everyday. No regrets for the decision I’ve made or not made.
Hey, I plan on becoming a Marine Pilot in the future, and if I remember seeing somewhere that I would also need to take NROTC in a college as well, I just want to ask if this is true? I also wanted to ask, it seems like I need to be a Marine for eight years before I can become a pilot, I wanted confirmation if that's right as well. I also want to know if there is a video for more specifics on becoming a helicopter pilot(Cobra/Viper, to be exact)?
+Seal After Pre-Flight Indoctrination and Primary Flight Training, the top student in your flight school class picks what he wants. The rest of the top gets assigned Jets, ranging from harrier to f/a-18 and the ea6-b prowler. The middle of the class gets assigned non-jet engine aircraft such as C-130's, and the bottom of the class gets tilt-rotors and helo's. Hope that helps.
+fpsp “gaming” Marine You don't absolutely need 20/20 vision. I went to OCS and then tested 20/30 in my left eye at my flight phys. No problem. Just got my wings and am at the RAG now flying the Osprey. It sounds wrong, but I promise, you do not HAVE to have 20/20 vision.
Actually this video is a little wrong. You need to be at least 20/40 correctable to 20/20, which means you can wear glasses. The big thing is that you don't need to wear glasses all the time. Also you can get both PRK and Lasik. But I would recommend talking to a flight surgeon before you decide to go do that. For the height limit I have seen guys in flight school about 6'4" it all depends on the length of your torso and legs. There are height limits for jets, but I'm not sure what it is.
I'm in high school and I think I'm gonna do NROTC in university, I also hope to become a fighter pilot. I'd honestly fly anything, although jets would be preferred. One slight problem, I have 20/70 vision(without my glassess) or somewhere around that range, is this really gonna be a problem?
You can get corrective surgery for it and just end up with a medical waiver. The surgery just has to be done several months before you get medically screened.
DO NOT get corrective surgery before commissioning as an officer. I have been told countless times that it will automatically disqualify you. Let the military do that for you. As long as you have correctable 20/20, you’re okay. I’ve done my flight screening and that’s what they told me.
I have 2 questions. What is the height limit because I know pilots have a height recommendation? Does wearing glasses disqualify a person from joining this mos?
Height and weight requirements to enlist in the Marine Corps are different for each recruit.While certain Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs) will have more stringent vision requirements, waivers are generally available for those with less than perfect eyesight. A Marine Corps Recruiter or Officer Selection Officer is the best resource for information about specific health requirements. Get in touch with one here: usmarin.es/mEFRhA
I have a few questions. Can a permanent resident become an officer? Don’t you have to have a bachelors degree to become an officer? What degree would you need if so?
You go through marine ocs which does incorporate a lot of infantry skills as well as going to TBS which again incorporates a lot of infantry leadership. It’s just the way the marine corps is
Infantry is the central component of Marine ground forces and is critical to the success of the Marine Corps missions. Infantry Marines are trained to locate, close with and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver, or repel the enemy's assault by fire and close combat. The mainstay of the Ground Combat Element is the infantry. The Ground Combat Element conducts land-based and amphibious operations, including offensive, defensive, humanitarian, reconnaissance and security operations. Those who are chosen for Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) in the combat arms will become highly skilled in the art of land warfare, as they will often be the first on the scene to confront threats around the world. You can find a list of requirements to become a United States Marine here: usmarin.es/QzkB16. A Marine Corps Recruiter or Officer Selection Officer is the best person to ask about any specific questions, and he or she may be able to help you develop a plan to ensure that you meet the requirements. Request more information here: usmarin.es/mEFRhA.

I’m interested in going in the military and I would like to fly helicopters but I just graduated high school and I haven’t done any collage???

You do not need prior time as an officer or in the military before you start your path to USMC aviation training. You can actually apply for OCS during college and do what they call a PLC program. Contact an recruiter they will hook you up.

Because surgery (even laser) involves trauma to the eye and it's components. Flying is dangerous enough without the added stresses on the eye muscles
