Good luck. Hope it works out. I went back to instruct in the T-6 as a FAIP (first assignment instructor pilot). Hopefully, go to a fighter after 3 years.
I am not entirely sure on all the details but I have a lot of buds that wear glasses. I think your vision has to be 20/70 correctable to 20/20. I have friends who had the surgery and flew the 38. You just have to jump through all the AF's hurdles to get your surgery approved.
it is fun. they can go supersonic but it pretty much has to be on a downhill run. Below 10000 and outside special use airspace they have a waiver to go up to 300kts (most planes are capped at 250) since they are more maneuverable at that speed and thus safer to operate. Above ten it just depends on what type of training mission. But generally any where from the .7 to .95 mach range.
the 38 was fun to fly. Good luck

Some of our airspace is over Tupelo but generally above 8000ft. Might be a low level route as well.

No. The runway is too short. 38 needs 8000ft to land.
