medical laser for eye surgery
requirements for being a fighter pilot?

I want to become a fighter pilot in the air force and always have but my dad who tried to join 20laser eye surgery‘t because he was too tall and he couldn’t use laser eye surgery for his eyes because it was considered “experimental medical practice”

has this changed? plus i am 6ft, 4in is that too tall? cause if so im gonna go up for the marines or SEALs

You maybe a little tall to be a fighter pilot, keep in mind that a fighter doesn’t have much room in the cockpit and most fighter pilots I’ve met were under 6′ tall. You could try becoming a cargo or tanker pilot, flown with lots of pilots about your height. Also in a fighter you’re by yourself up there and it gets pretty quiet & lonely cant get up to stretch your legs on the 8 hour flight across the ocean. Now on a cargo or tanker you can all that and more. Plus you get to try out your leadership skills as the aircraft commander on a mission.

How bad is your eyesight? As long as its correctable to 20/20, they’ll let you fly with glasses or contacts. Again this is for transport & tanker pilots. Maybe not so for fighters, since they suck on the hose more often and could dry out the contacts and you cant wear glasses with your helmet.

I say finish up college & get your degree if you haven’t already or try getting a slot at the USAF to get your pilot slot.
Also an added bonus of being aircrew in the USAF is that we get to stay in some pretty good hotels, I’ve flown marines before and had to leave them to sleep on the jet overlasik since they weren’t allowed to check-in to a hotel.
