My dad was a Navy pilot, and I grew up planning to be one too. But, like you, my eyes knocked me out. I had 20/20 vision, but during the physicals they discovered that I had astigmatism. :(
Nowadays I hear that vision is not a problem anymore, and that they'll train pilots who've had laser surgery, etc.
My late brother's step-daughter is a commercial pilot though, which is pretty cool.
