Plebe Color Test

[VAmama]

Do you know if the USAF Academy has the same color vision requirements as USMMA? My son is now interested in applying there if he has options open to him there.

I know that when I had my physical for my nominations (KP, USAFA and USNA), I had a color test. It was part of a full flight physical I was given at the local Air Force Base.

For USAFA a color vision test is required. The standards though may be different.

Here is a link to an old thread in which RetNavyHM discusses Air Force color vision. He used to work at DoDMerb so I think it is likely correct:
