Got my fighter pilot tests in wednesday/thursday next week and the swedish air force only accepts 20/20 vision. I currently have around 20/30 on both eyes.. A couple of exercises would be appreciated

Because of Ed, I got out of my own way, stopped fearing success, learned to listen to others’ opinions but hold my head high and keep my eyes on my dreams, and despite setback after setback – from eyesight to joint issues, to family life – I overcame them all. I made a decision to change my course from that of military flying to preparation for NASA’s Astronaut Corps, and Ed’s advice is still as vital and relevant to me now as I’m preparing academically and with civilian flight training as it was when I was preparing a flight packet for Army WOFT.

Thanks Ed for keeping up the fire for these young men and women!

I have a torn and leaking pulmonary valve and I have heard that you have to be in perfect health.

I do have this major weakness of having low self-esteem at times, comparing myself to others, and being scared. My eyesight seems fine at the moment (20/20 vision), and I am well on my way on school academics. I am just in 12th Grade at this moment, but as soon as I enter college and get accepted into the AFROTC, I will start focusing towards this ultimate goal of becoming a fighter pilot. Although all these obstacles can get in the way, conviction is what counts for those aviation enthusiasts; they get what they want when they persist to get what they want with strong passion.
