That being said, I've decided to enlist with a MOS of 31C. My question is this: Is there any possibility that I may still get into the RIP after AIT as a 31C? Thanks for your time.

Do you plan on getting color blindness corrective surgery by then? Do you get my point?

you are disqualified from attending Airborne school if you are color blind.

i have seen people pass the Airborne physical while in the Army and go, even though they were color blind.

MEPS will not give you Airborne under any circumstances because of your situation.

Unless you have failed to notice Vapor Brain, none of the posted icons we have at our disposal are meant to insult people. Our icon/emotions selection is just fine for our purposes.

I guess you'd have to memorize the positions of the green light and the red light in order to function correctly. Anything else that is critical - differentiating between the various features whizzing by on the ground?

Maybe Ranger Spartan if the air-craft is flying inverted will the color-blinded person know which way is up and which way is down?

Nah, that's what gravity is for. Hopefully he can grab a clue from the laws of physics.

we as recruiters can't sign anyone up for an MOS. only guidance counselors can. i would like to know what you're recruiter is really doing for you. sounds suspect to me.
