Can I be an f15 pilot if I need glasses?
>>
>>65508724
That's not the pilot.
>>
>>65508724
I don't think they stop you at enlistment anymore, but your vision can't be fucked up beyond a certain point, and it's definitely not going to help when competing with more physically fit recruits.

If you make it to pilot and then your eyes develop in a way that makes you need glasses, they'll most likely let you continue with glasses, since you've already done all the training and you're an asset at this point. (might pay for laser surgery too)

So as always: it depends, and you'll have to check with your local enlistment office.

>>65508724
Get lasik or whatever, invest in your future. Not uncommon for good candidates as far as I know. Becoming a fighter pilot is one of the most competitive jobs in the military. In college a close friend of mine who was in ROTC busted his ass to get “jets”. He was competing against academy guys, he basically had a perfect GPA among a slew of extracurricular things and was unbelievably fit. Like to the point of tagging along with the crew or wrestling teams depending on the day because the ROTC PT wasn’t enough in his opinion. I remember the day when he found out he got “jets”, he was blown away, basically started down that road when he was 16/17 and got the payoff at 22.

It’s most likely a pipe dream for anyone asking here.

>>65508724
No, if you are already a pilot and they have spend millions training you then they might let you fly with glasses depending but they aren't going to bother training someone that needs glasses from the start.

WSOs are pilots
>>
>>65508901
Subhuman WSO fingers typed this post. Why has your pilot let you off your leash? I bet when he finds out you're using the internet without his permission again he's going to beat you like a drum and won't let you out of your box or feed you for a week. Disgusting.

If you are pilot first and they already paid for all the training then they will laser your eyes to keep you flying. They have an endles supply of qualified candidates with perfect eyesight.
>>
>>65508724
You can wear eye glasses as a military pilot. You just have to be correctable to a certain degree. WSOs aren't pilots though.
>>
>>65508954
They actually aren't. At least not for the Navy

Lol this guy seems like a fucking bullshitter so it makes sense he'd agree to give a propaganda interview for Kegsbreath. A very poor reflection of our servicemen. He seems like a fucking tard and was probably the reason the plane got shot down. You'll notice the pilot refused to be interviewed. American servicemen have absolutely no idea why they're being sent to die for Israel, which is probably why morale is in the shitter and the ones who don't have low morale are retarded grifters since they've shitcanned anyone competent who wasn't willing to suck Pete's dick.

>>65509427
Yeah they're so incompetent that the US only lost an A-10, four little birds, two C-130s and two Blackhawks. You should sign up to go there too anon, you seem stupid enough. How's your T-levels?

That's unironically fucking great. If you know/can share, what did he end up flying? Love it when people achieve their dreams.

He was Navy ROTC and ended up flying super hornets for 10 years. He flies for Delta now, does their long haul flights, makes really good money.

>>65508901
They're 12s not 11s so no, they're not pilots.

Correctible to 20/20 is all you need. Most eliminations are depth perception or colorblindness instead.

You can fix your eyesight by not being a retard and actually start exercising your eye muscles.
It'll hurt a bit, but it helps.

If you were an Iranian pilot shot down over Saudi Arabia your country wouldn't lift a finger to get you out, they'd just treat you if you were already dead. The US can afford to lose 300M worth of planes to save one guy. Someone get these BEGGARS outta here.

In a massive rescue operation the US lost the amount of planes that Iran loses in a single sortie by an American plane.

How much vatnik is in your bloodline? Whatever makes you feel better about being a literal amerigolem for Israel.

>>65513818
Because you're clearly mentally retarded I now have to explain it to you in baby words: just because the enemy loses, doesn't mean you don't also lose. If you lose billions of military hardware there should be a reason. For what practical reason was that sacrifice worth it? Why are we at war with Iran? Can you answer without sounding mad?
>>
>>65513238
>If you lose military equipment but can afford it you win
>We didn't need it anyway

It's so depressing to watch my countrymen turn into retarded vatniks sucking off Israel literally overnight.

Israel is literally sitting on the sidelines and laughing while Americans die fighting their war for them. It's ironic, you retards spent three years stabbing Ukraine in the back and bitching constantly about the expense. I guess you really just love that Russian Israeli cock.
>>
>>65512022
Post hand and outlet. We know you're not American.
>>
>>65514000
See, the vatniks say they didn't need the hardware after they lose 10,000 troops trying to capture a single village.
But please, do argue how it's superior to be left for dead after you fight for a state that is so retarded your people suffer from water shortages due to excessive construction of dams.

They've been fighting Iranian proxies for years, nigger. They've lost more than a hundred soldiers, and have had significantly more wounded fighting the proxies than we've had fighting Iran
They clearly want to go all the way with Iran but Trump is retarded
>>
>>65515647
they literally baited us into the war
>>
>>65515647
>>65515960
I agree with both of you. Israel baited the US into it. However we should have stomped Iran in the 2000s, and we haven't gone far enough yet.
>>
>>65513860
You can do PRK on people who've got the corneas for LASIK, it's just not typically done because the recovery time is much longer and it doesn't matter for 99% of people who aren't going to subject themselves to massive amounts of g-forces
>>
>>65515647
>They've lost more than a hundred soldiers, and have had significantly more wounded fighting the proxies than we've had fighting Iran

Good. I fail to see how this is America's problem. As it would turn out, constantly violating international law, shitting on agreements that you signed, and stealing people's land at every opportunity has regional consequences. I love how you phrase it as trump being retarded for not going all in, as if we should have some automatic obligation to help Israel get themselves out of the mess they made. Your pathetic parasite country is literally dependent on us for its existence. Remind me, what do we actually get from you guys? Besides constant betrayal? Europe sent soldiers to the sandbox for us, where were you during that time? When has Israel ever actually risked anything for us?

Also
>We
Not fooling anyone. Post hand and outlet if you want to convince me.
>>
>>65515979
>we should have stomped Iran in the 2000s

Why? Because it serves Israeli interests? Iran would unironically be a better ally that Israel, at least they have a track record of supporting their friends, and we're already friends with another retarded theocracy (the Saudis) so it makes little difference.
>>
>>65515960
>They literally blackmailed trump into the war
