Ive been wanting to be a sniper for a long time. I feel like I got what it takes, ive been shooting guns since I was 5 and my dad, who is in the Secret Service, says I have a talent with rifles. I want to be a Marine sniper but I dont know if they would accept me because I wear contact lenses. Would they? If not, is there any other branch I could join that would accept me (ie. Army, FBI, ...)? Thanks. R.M.

As long as it is correctable to 20/20.....but there are more important matters that require your attention, all the best

Yep you can still be a sniper. As long as you have eyesight correctable to 20/20 it is still open to you.

As long as you pass the eye sight test then they cannot refuse you a place in the servic you have taken the test for.
