Colorblindness and the Army
Hey I just need some quick advice, I'm going through the process of getting into the Army. I'm a Commercial/Multi/Instrument rated pilot with 1400TT looking to jump over the rotorcraft side and fly for the United States Army.
I did well on the ASVAB and the physical went well except that I failed color vision portion. I've always been able to pass the FAA first class medical because the flight surgeon always gave me a secondary test and checked my vision of colors by questioning. It has never been an issue until now...
Anyways, my question... is there any chance of me getting into WOFS? Or should I just give up now? I'd be pretty dissappointed if I can't get in, but I'd rather know now than go through the AFAST, flight physical, get letters of recommendation, etc. only to be told I"m SOL...
