Good morning all, I have one eye that is 20/20 with no issues but my right eye is 2070 and unfortunately not correctable to 20/20. Both eyes together I see 20/20 no problem. Am I eligible for ranger/SF with the right eye? Thank you!

Yes briefly spoke with them. I am prior service Navy so we discussed what the requirements and some details. Looks like I would have to do army bootcamp and all that Jazz. Vision was pretty much my only concern, everything else should be fine it looks like.
From the army publication on medical requirements:
Current accession standards with exceptions noted in paragraphs 5–3b(2) through 5–3b(4).
(2) For airborne and Ranger training, distant visual acuity of any degree that does not correct to at least 20/20 in one
eye and 20/100 in the other eye within 8 diopters of plus or minus refractive error, with spectacle lenses.
(3) For Special Forces training, distant visual acuity of any degree that does not correct to 20/20 in each eye within 8
diopters of plus or minus refractive error, with spectacle lenses.”
