So here is the deal...
I fail the Ishihara test every time (number plate)
And I pass the Farnsworth D-15 test everytime...

I recently read something about the Farnsworth Lantern test being an option?
I have never actually taken that, but I read that the D-15 test is derived from this...

My question is, what color vision tests are administered?
This makes a huge difference as to what ROTC program I can apply to,
especially being that the NROTC - MC option is the only one that accepts color blind ppl and I found out that being that I am missing two fingers, the MC is gonna be the toughest thing for me to get into...

Thanks!

After failing the Ishahara eye test at DoDMERB, you should be offered a 'remedial" Farnsworth Lantern test by DoDMERB for the NROTC and USNA application. I don't know what the USCGA or USMMA accept as my DS did not apply to them.

I also know that the USMA, AROTC and NROTC-MC option all allow red green color blind people with out a waiver, at least they did last year.
