Nathan, best thing to do is go through the selection process, then within the medical it will assess your eye sight specifically for that trade. But it should'nt to much of a bother. Something a quick mind and quick wit can cover up.

I hope you're not suggesting that if you can't see a target on your radar screen, or coming towards you, you could 'cover it up'...KiLLiNgo wrote:But it should'nt to much of a bother. Something a quick mind and quick wit can cover up.
You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.

Just cover up, or simply yawn and blag your way through it.Hyperlithe wrote:I hope you're not suggesting that if you can't see a target on your radar screen, or coming towards you, you could 'cover it up'...KiLLiNgo wrote:But it should'nt to much of a bother.

Kinnell Imagine getting slagged off for poor English by a weegie burd
A Glesga burd walks into the local dry cleaners. She places a garment on the counter. "Ah'll be back ra morra efternin tae pick up ma dress." She says.
"Come again?" says the clerk, cupping his ear.
"Naw" she replies. This time it's mayonnaise."
A Glesga burd enters a sex shop & asks for a vibrator. The man says "Choose from our range on the wall." She says "Gies that rid yin". The man replies "That's a fire extinguisher, Lorreeen."
Incommmmmiiii nnnngngggggggg
Ah ken wha yer meanin, but ma hoe`s too wee

Just a heads up, from serving aircrew - it is not possible to blag your way through a medical, and if you try you will make yourself look like a complete nobber.
Not the kind of people I want to be flying with...

Only for Pilot. For WSOp and WSO you can be slightly short sighted.timex wrote:ISTR that your eyesight for commencement of Flying training has to be 20/20, once you have started flying then you can be issued with glasses. Laser surgery is still a no no for mil aircrew at the moment. Ask your careers office...
