As far as your eyesight, as long as it's correctable they'll just hook you up with a sturdy pair of BCGs just to make you look sexy, and you can fall in line and get scuffed up just like everybody else. That's what the army is really about, at least in my conception. I know right now you're probably thinking you'd like to do something sophisticated or special in the military, and that is exactly the kind of thinking which will trick you into signing a contract for a job that is totally gay. You can't do anything really cool in the army unless you're prepared to commit at least five or ten years, if you want in for some quick adventure or to just do your part I recommend something like Infantry, which, while stupid, is at least fun.

My opinion of course.
Well now, thats exactly what i was thinking of doing. The infantry, but as an officer, because the experience is good for life.
