In the late 60's the Army lowered the vision requirements for helicopter
pilots to something like 20/80 uncorrected if correctable to 20/20. They
also (IIRC) lowered the education requirements to a high school graduate.
I
believe this was due to the high attrition rates they were experiencing.

Yeah, they had that when I looked into it, too.

Didn't have 20/80 uncorrected, sadly.
