Military Pilot
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010What is the minimum service requirement for a military pilot?
What about a helicopter pilot? Also, if you have had laser eye surgery and have a corrected 20/20 vision are you able to be a pilot? Or do you have to have good uncorrected vision?
For a helicopter pilot, you must be either a warrant officer or commisioned officer, eyesight correctible to 20 /40, a US citizen, a GT on the asvab of 110 or higher, and meet Army height / weight requirements.
You also must take the AFAST test and score 90 or higher.
For Warrant Officer school, these are the requirements. http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/warrant/
Just look through the website. I am assuming you are a civilian? If so, you can still do it. The requirements are there. If you are already in the military, you need to put together a packet.
All the information you need should be on that website. If you would like any more, I would be happy to answer you. Just say so =)
Unless you have a college degree already, the Warrant program is an excellent way to go.
And I can't remember which, but you can be a pilot with either PRK or Lasix, like I said, can't remember which.
EDIT
Just read through the info, this is a quote
"You cannot have had Radial Keratonomy eye surgery."
I'm assuming this is PRK.
