This marksmanship experience could really benefit you in training and when you get to your chosen regiment. Many soldiers wear glasses for different reasons and this doesn’t effect any aspect of there soldiering ability. You will be told during the recruiting process if you can’t join for a medical reason and that is something all applicants must pass first.
