eyesight

Colour blindness is NOT a bar to entry in the army, and i am surprised it is in the marines. I have enquired about it and soldiers in the infantry can apply if they have CP4 (colour perception4) or better.

Im red/green colour blind but only slightly if you can only be slightly colour blind and i havent had a problem during my application unless there gonna spring it on my when i get down there.

i'm sure being colour blind would bar you from some jobs in the army.... im not 100% sure but it is something they test on your medical, so i doubt it's for nothing

I should imagine something like driving a tank may need full colour vision as i should imagine there is alot of reds and greens with targets etc
