Topic: Eye requirements and Navigators for the USAF
The USAF does not require perfect vision for any of its flyings spots. Eye surgery IS allowed, but only photorefractive keratecomy (PRK) not LASIK, and it must be done through the Air Force (ROTC, the Academy or OTS). You are also allowed a VERY minimal amount of astigmatism, even after the surgery. Once you are in flight training, however, your vision does not even need to meet those requirements. You are allowed glasses, especially after flight school, mainly because they have already spent too much money on you.
As for navigators; yes the traditional role of navigator is being phased out due to GPS and onther technologies. The new name for the position in the Air Force is CSO, or Combat Systems Officer. This title includes Weapons Systems Officers (WSO, or the guys in the back of Strike Eagles), true navigators, bombardiers, and the new position of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) pilot. Being an Air Battle Manger, or ABM, is another way to get in a plane. ABMs are the officers that sit in the back of an AWACS and direct traffic, bombing and all such matters. V/R, CarrowsCrew |
