Hello, the last time I spoke on this forum I was fifteen and was told that I should wait until I was 16 to start asking questions, well now I've been 16 for a few months now, so here it is.
I want to be a Ranger more then anything, my grandfather was a Ranger, my Uncle served in the Army, and it's just something I've always wanted to do. I'm physically fit(track, wrestling, football) fairly intelligent, and mentally stable. My one problem is that I have pretty bad vision, Not so bad that I can't read a book, but bad enough that I can't read some print on a chalkboard from the back of a classroom. I'm not sure what my vision is exactally, but it's not close to 20/20 but may be correctable. My question is, would my vision be something that would bar me from becoming a ranger?
Thanks for the help.
How good does my vision need to be?
