Well, I don't see why you shouldn't join the Air Cadets.  A lot of our fighter pilots were in the Civil Air Patrrol over here as kids, and a lot of CAP cadets go to the USAFA.  About joining the Canadian military...you could probably get a fighter slot.  I know that it seems difficult, but, hey, obviously people do make it.  ...

OK, I've tweaked what I know how to tweak (I'm not a programmer).  I've added all the pictures that I have available at this point in time.  I have some unique aviation items.  Obviously I am biased since I designed the site, so I wanted to get some feedback on what else I can do to it to make it more user friendly, ...

Hi Lt. Sorry this response is way late and may not even be relevant for you anymore, but I actually applied and almost went to Embry Riddle (got accepted there but ended up going to the University of Michigan to study Aerospace Engineering).  I did have a buddy that went to ER, went through their Army ROTC program, and is now a major in the ...

Sorry if I came off as a *** or something but any help is realy realy appretiated. Or I guess no one wants to help me as usual.

Well, I went to a presentation on the service academies with my dad.  I got a copy of a congressional nomination form and it is a big packet with a bunch of questions.  There are parts where they'll ask you about your hobbies and achievements and things like that, and that's where you can probably write dow your HAM radio ...

I cant seem to find a sample of a farnsworth lantern test, apparently some people who cant do the PP can do that one, and I would like to see what one even looks like.  Also, would being a certified HAM radio operator be a small plus on admissions?

Hey, I know my question may seem run of the mill but I assure you it's not. I have been lucky enough to have been given some options that people would kill for. But I have a problem or two. You see, some day i'd like to be a fighter pilot (oviasly) but, I live in canada. Now I have been given the option to join air cadets (i'm 15) where I can get ...

Yes, this is a tough case.  You should go and talk to your doctor about this.  Still, if it is only on these tests that your color vision seems to fail you, I can't see why you would not be allowed to fly.  They might even grant you a waiver anyways.  Like I suggested, you should probably go and talk to people who really know ...

Ahah that first test is the one that I cant do, the Pseudoisochromatic Plates.  I dont know about the Farnsworth Lantern tests, I couldnt find a sample of on on the internet, I will keep looking. Anyways I did find a PP example. Go here: http://colorvisiontesting.com/what%20colorblind%20people%20see.htm.  Scroll down to below the maps of ...

I went to the USAFA website www.academyadmissions.com I searched for the policy on colorblindness and I uncovered only this: ''...Successful completion of the Pseudoisochromatic Plates or Farnsworth Lantern color vision tests and the Vision Test Apparatus – Near and Distant (VTA-ND) or Titmus Stereofly or Randot Stereo or Verhoeff depth ...
