I've always wanted to be a jet jockey and my dreams were shattered when I found out about the eye sight requirements

PRK was approved a few years ago for flight crews.
You have to have 20/20 uncorrected vision as a new applicant(IE: an ROTC cadet[me], or OTS graduate), and 20/70 as an already active duty applicant.
