Hi everyone, I've got red-green color vision deficiency. I can figure out lantern, cone test and other all except ishihara. Can I get accepted from USAFA and become a Warcraft Pilot or another professions. Thank you.

Not an Air Force expert so someone can correct me, but medical requirements for pilots are a lot stricter for pilots

Color vision deficiency is not disqualifying for USAFA. I have a cadet who is red color deficient there now. You will not be able to be a pilot, but other career fields will be open to you.

My ds just had his pilot eye exam this week and called me telling me he is still not pilot qualified. We laughed as his color-blindness is moderate to severe and we've known that since he was 5. Still living his best life at USAFA and looking forward to a non-rated career.
