airforceApplications for the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs for the incoming class of 2013 are up nearly 10%. Almost 10,000 people have applied for the 1,350 available spots.

Actually, applications for all three major military academies are up, with Naval Academy numbers up 40%, the highest they’ve been since 1988. The Annapolis school has received 15,300 applications to fill only 1,230 open slots. West Point applications are up nearly 10% as well, with 11,106 applications sent in.

Applications are the highest they’ve been in five years at the Air Force Academy, and reported reasons why vary. Some cite an interest in simply being of service to America as their reason.

I am a junior in HS and am thinking about joining the AF when I graduate. I want so bad to be a fighter pilot, I also wear glasses. I want nothing more than to fly. I know the AF website basically by heart, so I wanted to ask people with experience in the AF or anyone who knows anything about it, if I can qualify for flying as long as my vision is corrected to 20/20, no matter what my vision may be? I know that in order to be a pilot you have to be an officer, so if I joined would I have to go into the DEP?
