Becoming AF pilot getting mixed answers help please?

Real quick, im doing AFROTC, studying systems engineering (my 2nd year)

I was planning on getting PRK this upcoming summer (2013) which would be my 2nd year of AFROTC and 3rd year of college.

My question is, does PRK fix colorblindess? I can see all colors except i have a really hard time with my greens it's not my fault it's genetic. If it doesn't, is there anything I can do that will help me train my eyes to detect those colors over the next few years.

I reading and hearing from various sources that yes it does help and some that tell me no it doesn't.

If this doesn't work out i guess i'll go be an engineer in the AF, but would REALLY REALLY love to fly.

Finally, if i can't fly military, is it possible to fly in the civilian world as a hobby with colorblindness? Keep in mind, i'm not 100% black and white colorblind i just have trouble with certain shades of green, and i always fail that portion on the colorblind test
