They had fewer women make it as a percentage through their pipelineYeah, because they actually enforced their standards.

No they did not.
The AF was first to allow corrected vision in the front seat. This was done because they could not find enough good eyes among the females who could manage not to kill themselves. The Navy was forced to follow suit to not lose good candidates out of college.
The AF accepts 20/50 for pilots and 20/200 for WSOs correctible to 20/20. The Navy still requires 20/30 correctable for pilots and 20/40 for NFOs.
