    Color deficiency issues

    Hello. I am preparing to enlist in the Marine Corps and see my recruiter tomorrow to start paperwork. My question is this-I got an 85 on my asvab but am red/green color deficient. Is there a link that can tell me which MOS i am eligible for because of this?

    Wow-thats a lot more than I thought. First and foremost I just want to go where the corps needs me-MY choices come second. But it is nice to know I wont be pigeonholed into just 1 or 2 options.

    I was red/green color deficient when I joined, so I find it interesting to see what MOSs I would qualify for in the modern Marine Corps. I was in communications which in these times would have only made me eligible to be an 0671, Data Systems Administrator.

    Question. A friend of mine is trying to enlist with me. He apparently bombed at meps-they diagnosed him with social anxiety and anger issues. Ive known this kid since he was 2 or 3-he has NO problems i know of-he's just an ******* . He was denied a waiver by the national guard-will the marines auto deny him because of this or does he have a chance at getting in? I dont think he has ever has counseling or meds of any kind.

    More than likely he will be PDQd. Marine recruiters probably won't even talk to him except to tell him to leave. MEPS is used by all branches and have access to the info. Being National Guard means nothing as legally the Army Guard is a Reserve of the Army and the Air Guard a Reserve of the Air Force .

    Your friend being an azzhole all his life IS an indicator of social anxiety and anger issues. maybe he does need counseling and meds. If the Army Guard won't take him, he's screwed.

    I am color blind.....in my time it didn't mean shet. In 67 they would take you if you were blind, crippled, and on probation. If you could point a rifle and pull a trigger, and was willing to give up your life for the Corps.....you was in......just saying
