hay, snipers have to have 20/20 vision. what if i don't have 20/20 vision, does that mean i can't become a sniper?
can i get laser eye surgery to fix it, then pass the eye test?

Vision has to be correctible to 20/20 both eyes.

to be a decent sniper, the better your vision is, the better you can do.
Im currently attached to an infantry battalion, and some of the grunts in the sniper cell have up to 20/15 vision, seeing what what the average person can see only at 15 feet whilst at 20.
So, if your vision is any worse than average (20/20), their will be a rather slim chance of becoming a sniper, due to being not all that possible to have corrective eye surgery, of which the military will most likely say no to anyway as they dont like surgery.
