I just had some questions for some pilots in the military...
1. I have few extra-curricular activities besides Civil Air Patrol. My GPA is 3.3 but my ACT is 35. I'm very intelligent, healthy and capable, do you think the Navy or Air Force will let me fly a complicated aircraft?
2. I have 20/30 vision w/o glasses but 20/20 with. I also have a slight astigmatism in my left eye. How much of a problem is this?
3. I really enjoy aviation, should I get a Private Pilot's License now (at 15)?
4. Should I consider a different career? You guys are really pessimistic, or maybe just realistic about the airline industry.
5. Do the airlines look more highly upon aviation related degrees? I wanted to go for a computer science degree as something to fall back on if aviation prospects don't look good.
6. Also, I'm 6'3" 200 pounds, would they let me be a fighter pilot? With my vision? (It isn't bad it's just not perfect.)
Thanks...
