We received a color vision waiver to USNA. Very grateful. I know how hard these are to come by. That said, the following conditional agreement letter was sent for us to sign from the Admissions board
"I certify that I fully understand that my opportunity for commissioning in the Unrestricted Line communities in the Navy or Marine Corps may be limited to Marine Ground due to color vision deficiency. I assert I will accept a commission in the U.S. Marine Corps, if offered. (Please hand sign and email this form to admissionsmedical@usna.edu)"
We are fully aware of the RL communities available upon graduation in the Navy. Those are fine and desired.
Can we be forced to accept a "USMC ground" on assignment day 1/c Year? basically, Drafted... Assume that we never chose Marine Option by 2/c year, nor attend Leatherneck the summer prior to 1/c year.
