hello :D

I went to the armys online careers office, and asked for you.

Here is the conversation

Maunder123------------------------I have a question, I need to know if being colourblind would stop my friend joining the para's
SSgt Gary Hutchinson-------------not necessarily
Maunder123------------------------he said he is only partially colourblind, So it would depend on how his medical went?
SSgt Gary Hutchinson-------------colour blindness really only applies to the Engineering jobs

as seen You will probably be ok :D

I seem to remember that there are degrees of color blindness.
CP 1 and 2,no problem.Cp 3 and 4 may be a no-no.
That said I know a serving Royal Marine who was diagnosed as CP 3.
