[QUOTE=cpt_azad;1445473]you train in f-4s? wow, I would have expected t38 type aircraft as supersonic trainers. anyways, if you don't want to be a freight dog, then from the sound of it, the only other thing that they will let you be pilot in command of is a helicoptor. what chance would there be of being an airforce or army chopper pilot? if it's your eyes keeping you out of an f-18 cockpit, do they accept eye surgry? I know they don't in the USAF fighters, but I think they do in the USN air wing fighters. I have no idea about the canadian air force though.@tempestv, yes indeed, f18 is weird for an Air Force, it's a navy bird, always has and always will be, damn Canadians and their military budget, all we have are a bunch of F4's to train in, I had asked a recruiter way back when when I was actually joining up if they had Naval aviators in the Canadian navy, he gave me like the longest look and said wtf is that?

Isn't "Lieutenant" always pronounced "leftenant"? I thought it was a british term from way back when and the Americans never liked that pronounciation or something.

On the Peripheral
The Commonwealth countries tend to say "leftenant."
<insert witty Americans don't really speak English joke...sorry, I'm feeling ill and not up to it>
things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t
mostly harmless

[quote=Tempestv;1446885]In the USAF they do accept corrective laser eye surgery (but to an extent, and its "under" the table kind of stuff), and yes USN definitely accepts laser eye surgery but only Lasik.
They do not accept laser eye surgery, nor do they let you wear glasses/contacts if you want to be a pilot in the Air Force here in Canada, but that's very restrictive (you have to really annoy them about it) because the whole no contacts/glasses/surgery thing only applies to figher pilots who pull like 8g's in a turn, they do not apply to say a chopper or freighter pilot who experience run-of-the-mill flight g's, so it is an exception for helicopter pilots and freigh/cargo pilots (or recon pilots, ie C130 hercules) to wear contacts/glasses, and ya my vision is keeping me out of the F18. I personally don't train in an F4, I just pointed that out because pilots training to be an F18 fighter pilot have to undergo training in an F4, not sure what a freight/cargo pilot trains in.
