red-green color blindness

Post by freshman »

I have searched this site thoroughly and have not found anything about red green color blindness. I ask because I am very intrested in an 18x contract but I have been told that I have red green color deficancy(sp?) would this screw my chances of obtaining an 18x contract? I read the usarec medical requirments and nothing is mentioned about red green color blindness...please respond with suggestions or help

thank you
