Hello Marines,
I entered the DEP last Tuesday and looked at jobs with my recruiter a couple days later. I was hoping for an infantry slot, or any ground combat arm but those have all been filled (we're still working on seeing if something will open up). Anyway, my next choice was the AG Enlisted Aircrew option, which was open.
My question is what are the vision requirements for enlisted aircrew? I've heard that you need perfect vision to be aircrew on a helicopter, but not for a C-130. I would prefer helicopters. My vision is correctable to and past 20/20, but it is pretty bad when uncorrected. So needing correction could I still be a crew member on a helo, or could I only be a crew member on a C-130?
Thanks very much.
