Does having moderate color blindness completely kill my chances in military and police? I just mess up blue and purple sometimes, but I was wondering.
I think of in "Little Miss Sunshine" how the kid who refused to talk until he joined the airforce flipped out when he learned he was color blind and couldn't join.

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.

I took the color blindness test and only couldn't read the 2nd and 3rd on the left. All the others I could see fine, which kind of muddled up my score for the test, since it is very specific.
I could just imagine being a cop patrolling around in my Ford Crown Vic and see a car fly by only to have to radio it in as blue.... or purple.

Well maybe if you can get a waiver in the military you can be an MP.
