Howdy,
My name is Matthew and I'm about halfway through the first semester of my sophomore year in college. I'm currently a midshipman in an NROTC unit and am trying to get more information from someone who can help. I was very recently granted a waiver from DODMERB regarding being color-deficient after failing the Ishihara 14 plate test during my initial DODMERB exams. I later was able to take a Waggoner Computerized Color Vision Test (CCVT) on base and that helped me to get the waiver. I'm wondering how big of an issue this will be later in flight school and if pursuing aviation is something I should keep chasing. I was told there's an "ask a flight surgeon" section on these forums but couldn't find it, does such a thing exist?
Thanks in advance,
Matthew
