DEP1 wrote:Hello, it's is a pleasure being a new member of your site, you guys seem to be very informative when it comes to specific issues, knowing this; I thought that you might be able to steer me in the right direction. My issue is this:
I'm colorblind. I failed the MEPS colorblind test and the FALANT test, and then had a civilian optometrist conduct a full eye exam and though my vision is 20-20, he confirmed color blindness. I'm now being told that I can't get option 40 on my contract. I have been searching this site and it's very helpful. I am dedicated to becoming an Army Ranger, however as I'm sure you know this is becoming quite a little problem, I was wondering if any Rangers out there, could possibly share some suggestions on how best to go about this process, becoming a colorblind Army Ranger, anything will do and would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know of any Rangers that are colorblind? Please keep in mind I have read and understood the previous topics regarding this subject…I'm not lazy, I would just like to possibly discuss this issue with people that have been in my shoes, or anyone that has other suggestions. "Anything's possible, if the will is present." Thank you very much, Zack



I guess colorblindness impedes your ability to SEARCH the Medical Issues Forum & this site- Guess we can ban you for this post because you failed to SEARCH. So if green or red or even pink tracers were coming at you - would you see them? hear them?

I didn't even think about the red being a possible issue for colorblind indviduals. Maybe I should make one where the color alternates between red and green. :twisted:
