Hi my name is nick,
I'm 14 and live in Sydney, Australia and am incredibly keen on joining ADFA and than moving on to become a fighter pilot with the RAAF. I do Army cadets (air force cadets isn't really an option) as well as Scouts. I have almost achieved my Australian Scout Medallion. I love RC planes as well as plane modelling and am a huge gamer on flight simulators. I came 9th in my grade at a GPS school (SHORE) in Sydney and am planning on doing 4 unit maths, physics and chemistry for the HSC. On my current rate of development, I will be looking at an ATAR of around 95. I have almost achieved my bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award and will hopefully in the future achieve both my silver and gold awards. I am involved in many sports including soccer and rowing. I am captain of my school soccer team and am the coxswain for my school grade's first rowing. I am also aspiring to become a prefect in Year 12.
I cannot wait until I can first sign up for ADFA/RAAF but there is just one issue, I am short sighted and am required to wear glasses however my right eye is only short sighted and my left eye has 20/20 vision. I was just wondering if I had to do more in terms of becoming a pilot and if I can still become one if I have this issue.
I also found a document on the web about the visual requirements for being a pilot, this is the link backwards (am a newbie so can't post links) if you want to check it out:

Thank you and sorry for so much stuff
