<p>I am a candidate for USMA class of 2010 and I already recieved a LOA. Dodmerb requested a vivid red green color vision test. Does anyone know more about what is involved in the test? I heard that if I fail I cannot be medically cleared. Is that true? Thanks.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your LOA!</p>
<p>I have no direct knowledge about color blindness waivers, but found this online:</p>
<p>Color Blindness</p>
<pre><code> a. The absence of color vision is disqualifying for the USMA, AROTC and OCS programs per AR 40-501, para 2-13 e.
b. Defective color vision is normally waived. However, the cadet is ineligible for some military branches. The Office of the Army Surgeon General reported in Dec 02 that an officer who is unable to distinguish between vivid red/green is ineligible for the following branches: Infantry, Armor, Engineers, Artillery, Military Intelligence, Military Police, and Signal.

<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>baseball21-So sorry you have to go through this! Don't fret too much about it though. Could be they just want the test again because some guy dropped the ball on your paper work and didn't fill it out properly. :rolleyes: Whatever you do, get it taken care of asap. It can cause bunches of trouble later.
DODMERB = Do Other Dumb Medical Experiments Required Bravely!</p>
