According to the rules, he is no longer physically qualified. He has no issues with that. The folks at VMI were as kind, sad and professional as they could have possibly been. I was very impressed with how well they treated Jack, worked with the Army and helped him work through the process.
In my day, I knew perfectly good pilots who were bounced from flight school when they failed the eye exam half way through flight school...I earned my wings and then failed the eye exam two years later: No worries, here are your goggles. It is what it is.
Best to your son. He is a very impressive young man, Jerry.
