So I dont get to be a fighter pilot

True about vision rules, but in russia they permit carved corneas. In USA they used to ban pilots OVER 6 feet tall, but now they (US Naval pilot school) take pilots up to 6'5" (any height basically) and weight from 245 pounds or less and above 103 pounds :

From that page, it shows that a 6'5" pilot might be BANNED from all current aircraft jets though : [NAVAIRINST 3710.9C and OPNAVINST 3710.37A]

But the hidden ACTUAL limiter of Naval pilots is IQ (rigorous school testing) and that's raaaaayyyycist ! Also women complained about many requirements related to physical stamina, and requirements altered for females. The result? Female aircraft pilots crash into ocean over 400% more often than male pilots.

It's as if being able to remain conscious while pulling high g maneuvers is important or something
