A dream of mine, and the steps to take...

If were in your shoes I would consider the military route. I am a Pro-Aero degree Embry-Riddle Grad but your type degree really doens't matter much. I really enjoyed moving around a lot and the different flying adventures you get with the military training, (formation, aerobatics, etc.) If you can put up with deployments to the far ends of the earth I endorse it. Losts of Cargo if thats your deal. Personally I have been stationed in Italy and Hawaii so far, Not to shabby. Pay is alright too. If you have a degree already you can get a guarantee flight slot with the Navy. 13 weeks of Officer Candidate School, then Flight school starts. Good luck either way.

Well i have heard the military requires their pilots to have 20/20 vision, so im thinking the military is not an option because i require corrective lenses

 

[dudemize]

Not true about 20/20 uncorrected for the military. I wear glasses and I got in. The uncorrected limit is 20/70. There are refraction limits too, but can't remember what they are.

Dude is correct, It has to be correctable to 20/20 which means you can wear glasses and laser surgery is approved also in a lot of cases. Contact a Navy recruiter, Good luck

Well first....

Cut out that Y'alls crap - pilots don't talk like that.

I'm kidding.
Well here's my advise -- from someone who's still at the bottom rung.

Don't give up. Be prepared to sacrifice, but don't give up. If you really want it you will succeed.

Good luck and glad to see you 'on board'
