so im sixteen right now almost seventeen and i still have one more year of highschool left but after that i was planning on joinging the marines and the only thing i want to be in is the infantry but im red/green color blind and i have really bad flat feet like i have no arch when i talked to my rectruiter he told me the color blindness wasnt an issue but he said my feet is an automatic dq but he told me that when i turn seventeen they can take a look at my feet and see if i can get a waiver for it so what im asking is if anyone knows if i will be able to get a waiver for it or no

Yes you will be able to get a waiver. We had guys in boot camp had to buy special insoles which they sold at the px for their feet becuase of those issues. They actually check if you have flat feet the 1st day you get their to see if you need insoles or not. You will be fine. I'm infantry myself, so you have any questions, hit me up.
