Line Up and Wait
That I'm actually mildly green colorblind. I passed all my FAA medical stuff no problem and all the vision stuff at military entrance processing no issue. For the Air force flight physical they require some computer based cone color test and my red is 100 blue is 100 and green is 70 (75 is passing)
Unfortunately it sounds like a waiver won't be granted both docs I talked to said they would automatically submit one but they highly doubt its something the big docs will accept. So needless to say I'm pretty frustrated I've spent 2 years this May applying chasing down reserve and guard contacts getting my ppl going to multiple medical screenings, interviews, running into a wall on pilot slots and eventually getting selected for drones(rpa pilot), putting my career on hold while pursuing that, taking the oath of enlistment in Oct and then literally being one shade of green away is just ugghhh makes me sick.
All the more frustrating cause its something that I never had any indication of cause I pass any kind of color test given in my life except that CCT I took at the flight physical. maybe I don't understand being partially green colorblind but i've taken a few online test no problem and just messed around in photoshop with the whole green spectrum and dont see any issue.
I don't believe they can offer me any other job cause I believe the rated officer positions all have the same requirements so I guess now my options are to try for a WOFT position in the army which I'd be okay with if I could get fixed wing but then it means more interviews more letters of recommendation more exams, more medical stuff and the chance to get stuck in helicopters(would probably enjoy apache or blackhawk but anything else eh) Also would have to go though enlisted basic then WOCS then into flight training
Or I'm sitting at 200ish flight hours I could spend the idk 15k getting IR Com and CFI then trying airlines downside is more money spent and then not making jack for 3-4 years.
Anyways thats pretty rambling but thats just the way my minds been for the past day or so just felt like venting.![Dunno :dunno: :dunno:](/community/styles/poa/poa_smilies/dunno.gif)
