it there a weight limit to pilots in the military?

yes, but it corresponds to height, also.

*  Two-man: minimum 384 pounds (170 kilograms) when empty, maximum 860 pounds (390 kilograms) with crew and equipment.\n    * Two-woman: minimum 284 pounds (170 kilograms) when empty, maximum 750 pounds (340 kilograms) with crew and equipment\n    * Four-man: minimum 463 pounds (210 kilograms) when empty, maximum 1,389 pounds (630 kilograms) with crew and equipment

anywhere from  80 - 100 pounds, because of your height

For our height the weight would be anywhere between 115 and 135.  135 being the absolute max. It all depends on you bone structure. For me I have sort of a medium build so I have to stay between 125 and 130, or else I look VERY sick. If you are built is small stay within 115 and 125. Good luck.

Their is indeed a requirement for minimum number of not only total flight hours, but instrument hours also.  There is also a certain number of landings required to be current.  As far as military in concerned the requirements in the USN-USMC are the most stringent.  After so many days elapse, one must re-qualify on carrier landings.  These requirements used to be less than 30 days. (I don't feel comfortable talking about the precise number) Fore more information contact FAA, or get a copy of FAR-91.

Of course! A person with that height and weight would surely never ask such a question.\nI'll definitely keep an eye on the answers.\nBut honestly, 622 lbs was really a nice number...

Trust me, the US space program was not a farce. You may have seen the old movie Capricorn 1 but that much could not have been faked. We can barely simulate weighlessness with airplane flight for a minute or two--there is no way we could simulate it lasting for days, weeks, and months. There is no way to fake the changes on the human body from prolonged weightlessness.

is this a question about being a pilot? if not the only thing that matters is that your vison can be correceted to 20-20 or close to it with glasses.\n\nmsg me if you have more questions

When I was 18, I was 5'10" and could stuff.  Get ankle weights (or duct tape some weight on).  You will absolutely "fly" in a month.  I had a 40" vertical.

I feel lke lighting my DD-214 on fire, no-one gives a ratsass that I was a Marine once...get a degree, or go back in the military, because dd-214s carry no weight in the civilian world. No-one cares. Nice sunglasses.

No.  Among other issues, human bones are too dense to fly.  If you look at the bones of a bird, they are completely different.  Also, our arms do not pivot in their sockets in the same way as wings, and we have no breastbone and keel to withstand the tension of flapping even if we had such arms, and we lack feathers.

I left you a post in the same question you had under 'aircraft', so I won't re-copy the entire thing for you here.  From an experience standpoint, 4-5g isn't bad, requiring perhaps some application of an anti-g straining maneuver. 6-7g requires a more disciplined use of the AGSM, and 8-9+ can be hard work.\nG tolerance has a lot of variables, including personal tolerance, health, duration, etc.\n\nEdit:\nhttp://www.pplmania.com/ppltrainer/health_gloc.htm\nhas a good description of the effects of g on the body...\nsomewhere around 4g is the normal 'resting' tolerance for most people, meaning if you just sat there and did nothing, you're likely to g-LOC around 4gs.  The g-suit worn by military aviators gives around another g of protection.  The rest gets made up for by the Anti-g Straining Maneuver (AGSM).  If you're selected for military training, you will be properly taught the AGSM by physiologists and will practice it/test your techniqe in a centrifuge.  There's no way to predict what your natural g tolerance is, although shorter, stockier people tend to have a naturally higher g tolerance than the tall and thin (and, incidently, women tend to have a higher natural g tolerance than men), but regardless, a well-developed AGSM is required for high-g flying no matter what your natural tolerance...some people just have to work a bit harder at it than others.  \n\nTo make a long answer short, I wouldn't worry about it.  \n\nTo become a military pilot, focus on your school work--good grades will get you into flight school.

Get an evaluation for supralase eye surgery (Evals are usually free) and check with your recruiter about whether the Air Force allows it.  Supralase doesn't create a corneal flap; so I believe it will be acceptable.  I don't believe you can wear glasses as a pilot.  You should also be aware that there are height requirements.  Both being too short OR even too tall can disqualify you from that M.O.S.  Again check with your local recruiter.

Start here, this is a very good website for this information.\n\nhttp://usmilitary.about.com/od/marines/l/blweight.htm\n\n\nToo much detail to list here.\n\n\n\nI♥♫→mia☼☺†

i heard that it must be 20/20 vision when i was looking into being a pilot in the military.\n\nthey don't want glasses falling off or contacts coming out while you're flying.\n\ngetting laser surgery to fix eyes i think is okay.  you might want to check that, but i'm fairly sure that they'll accept you if you get that done.

Yes you most definately can.  The military will even do it if you are already in and 100 lbs over weight.  The only thing is its disqualifing for certain jobs.  I don't know what they all are.  The only one I know is sub duty.  I'm a submariner and have a buddy that was looking into it.  They told him he have to go to a surface ship if he got it done.  It has to do with the lack of a doctor on a sub and if the surgery comes undone you can have serious problems that an idependant duty corpman wouldn't have the knowledge to fix.

Lol..they probably have a little "pee cup" or something.  It's probably hooked into their suits so they can "relieve themselves" when they need too.  My boyfriend works on jets in the Marine Corp and he says that the pilots have something like that b/c they can't just land...especially when going cross-country. :)
