I have a friend who used to weight around 344 pounds last year. This year he weights around 286 pounds. He was planning to join the Air Force when he was 18. Right now he is 15 and he wants to know if he can join the Air Force. The reason I am asking is because he drank diet pills and still drinks diet pills to loose weight, and I told him once you taken those drugs you aren't going to be able to join the Air Force. So am I right or wrong. Can he still join the Air Force if he consumed those diet pills! Yes or No

Yes, you can sill join the military if you take diet pills. You have to be 18 to enlist and 17 with a parent or gaurdion consent. If your friend wants to lose weight for the military, they should exercise. In the military, there is a big emphasis on physical fitness and body composition. So, if your friend starts a healthy lifestyle now, meeting weight standards and fitness requirements won't be a problem. Oh, your friend should join the Marine Corps, you'll get so much more out of it and be in better shape. I'm a Marine, I know.

they have a resourceful and prescient requirement which you need to have 20/20 resourceful and prescient, or correctable to twenty/20 (meaning with contacts, glasses, or ideally, eye surgical treatment). i think of 20/40 with out correction is the minimum organic resourceful and prescient you're allowed to have, until you have eye surgical treatment authorized via the Air tension. you apart from would can no longer get basically any eye surgical treatment, it must be authorized via the Air tension. you apart from would ought to be under a definite top to slot in airplane cabins, besides as bypass a actual wellness try. it is fairly difficult to advance right into a pilot and maximum probably they're going to decide for a 20/20 organic over you in case you have corrected resourceful and prescient. in basic terms a small fraction of officers advance into pilots. look at their internet site for specifics.
