but i think that if you dont have perfect vision you can only fly in the daytime and not evening flights.


Nope - as I said in my previous post, as long as your eyesight is good on joining the service, it doesn't matter if you subsequently need spectacles (unless you virtually go blind). :)

I wonder if the marines give corrective eye stuff for snipers...

I hate my vision.
I'm only 15 yet about 40cm away form the screen I can't read anything.


Don't think so!

I'm only 16 yet about 30cm from the screen I can't even read the huge "Simviation Forums" letters... ;D... And I'm seriously considering being a pilot.

Can I get a 1st class medial (FAA) with -7 myopia, shortsightness or however you call it? :-/

I have read that for Europe -6 is the max. permitted... :-[
