I know in the CF color blindness will only keep you out of pilot or intelligence, I don't imagine it's much different in the US.
Far as deployment goes, it's very easy to say thats the reason the military exists when it's just an academic exercise. It's alot harder to live it. You don't really realise it until it happens, but you're not putting your life on hold, you're walking away from it. World keeps turning while you're gone and the life you come home to is not the one you left. I wouldn't open myself up to that at any time whether I volunteer or not.
