Hey hows it going Marines.
I was DEP about 2 months ago and when i went down to MEPS to get my exams i had no problems what so ever with my eye sight body weight exc. I was going down to sign for 1812 M1A1 tank crewman, and after everything was done and i was going to choose my MOS the GySgt told me that i was "color blind" and that i couldnt choose that MOS. I am 20/20 vision and for certain that i am not Color Blind, so they gave me my only option at the time of B6 Ground Option with a 7500$ bonus which i have no worries about because hey i will be a Marine thats all i want. My question is that half the jobs in B6 Ground Option are for certain that you have to have color vision. its just wierd that they would stick me in that catagory that has that qualification. ?
thanks.
