Answer
Dear Dan --

Although the Army does have a lot of jobs that color blind Soldiers can do, I am  not an active recruiter, so I cannot tell you which jobs are currently open to recruits with your qualifications.

You can chat with an Army recruiter, if you go to this web site:

The recruiter can tell you what is open for you currently, and what is permanently closed to you because you are color blind.

Remember that military occupational specialties (MOSs) or jobs, open every month as Army needs change.  If a specialty that you qualify for isn't available this month, check back next month, it may be open.

Good luck to you.  Thank you for considering military service.
