Angels 99,

The eyesight standards for the Army Air Corps differ slightly from the RAF/RN, it may be worth investigating. Try to find out how you did or just go to specsavers to get a rough idea etc. There is a thread on the military forum somewhere regarding eyesight standards. It suggested this link:

If you think you maybe in with a fighting chance give it a go. Obviously you need to decide what you want: Flying, RAF, Military Pilot, Officer etc.

The AAC want you to be an Officer first, pilot second... all for very good reasons. Also you don't fly as much.

UAS ground pounding isn't much fun, take it from me. Considering most of your "aircrew" mates eventually lose thier heads up thier own ar$e... thats if they can find it without a mirror. Although the UAS is enjoyable and most people would do it again if they had the choice.

In short the RAF isn't the end of military flying. Don't give up!

Kind regards,
Mr W
