Question
Sir, I am planning on attending college with the ROTC program and later joining the Special Forces or Rangers. I am red green colorblind. Will this disability stop me from joining the special forces or rangers? Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Austin.
Hello Austin:
Since I wasn't in the army, I cant answer for sure. But to the best of my knowledge, color blindness may prohibit you from any special operations forces. My best advice is to talk with a recruiter and find out for sure. Best of luck in all you do.
