Hello
Today I received a call from my congressman letting me know that I will be receiving an appointment to USMA. I plan to accept it and hope to become an infantry or special forces officer. I had trouble on the PIP test (I believe I would have failed if the doctor had given me the appropriate amount of time on each plate). I don't know for sure but I think it is supposed to be two seconds and he basically gave me all the time I needed. AR 40-501 only states that color vision will be tested and the ability to determine vivid red and green is required. I can definitely discern vivid red and green. I have never struggled with color vision before the PIP test. I can also easily distinguish between red and green lights on channel markers when boating if this helps. Any information about the color vision tests for commissioning as an infantry officer, jump school, ranger school, and special forces selection would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Here is the link to the Army medical regulations, unfortunately they are pretty vague on this topic: http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r40_501.pdf
