Alright so I know my first step should be to talk to a recruiter, take the AFOQT, etc, etc.  That stuff is on my list to do but I have time before the January 09 boards and just wanted to see if it's even worth it.  I'm 5'11", 210lbs (not what it sounds like, just had a fit test yesterday and scored higher than anyone there in every area), I've been in the Air Force 3 and a half years out of a 6 year enlistment and I'm 1 year out from finishing my degree and as it sits I have a 3.9 GPA working towards a bachelors in professional aeronautics with a dual minor in safety and managment.  I made the deans list prior to deploying last year.  I have won 13 AOM boards, I've deployed to Iraq for 6 months outside of my primary AFSC, served a year in the base honor guard, and I have all 5 EPRs.  I AM the most decorated airman in my unit.  You guys say you have to ooze confidence, well, I've got it.  I'm 23 years old, married with two children and I have no physical barriers other than an upcoming oral surgery where my jaw will be realigned (probably going to be an issue but I have time to get waivers, it's not like I'm applying for the June 08 boards though I should graduate in time).  Okay so here's the catch I don't have perfect vision.  Matter of fact when I took the depth perception test at MEPS four years ago I had to ask what exactly they were asking for.  I couldn't tell that any of the circles were different.  Okay so a big fat FAIL, right?  As far as I know you can't fix a lack of depth perception so I should look into my second and third choice of maintenance officer or airfield operations, or is there something I am missing?  I've wanted to fly my entire life (who hasn't that registers here, right?).  My goal is to be an officer and I am more than willing to take anything, even SF, I did it for six months and it wasn't that bad.  Oh yeah and for the actual factual pilots here I'm a buff crew chief, I dump pee and clean other people's messes for a living, it's time to upgrade.
