Colour Blind (NOT ABOUT PILOT)
Posted: Sun 19 Feb, 2012 8:17 pm
Hi,
Im 16 and currently looking into a job in the RAF. I have always been interested in both IT and Engineering, i therefore am looking for a job in one of these fields.
I would very much like to join as an aircraft technician (mechanical), weapon tech or general tech on the engineering side of the spectrum or as an IT Tech on the computing side.
However, i am colour blind. Im aware that i cannot join as an electrician in any sort or pilot but im just hunting for some clarification around whether or not i can join as any of the above roles or whether my eye sight will prevent it.
I must add that in no way does my colour blindness affect my day to day, i can easily distinquish every colour but obviously i cant have my medical form wiped just because i say i can see the colours.
Would love some help.
Alex.
