Chernobyl1986

Thanks alot, both of you. Even better to have numbers backing it up so I know I'm not just getting the run-around. I was already accepting of a DQ because I didn't think I was even eligible for a waiver. My backup choice is the 21AX field which (to my knowledge) doesn't have a color vision standard. Will keep posted on any official happenings.

Crew Dawg, You probably just made my god damn day - been trying to wrestle answers out of the vortex known as the internet for weeks now. Many thanks for your help. Follow on question: Did you get that waiver/AFSC combination coming into the AF or did you get it after you where already in?

Greetings, First off I know this isn't necessarily a flght question but this seems a good place to get the answer I'm looking for, so forgive me if I'm wasting time. I've been searching through numerous AFI's and AFPAM's about this issue, but I cannot seem to find a straightforward answer. I know that for a SMOD physical, normal color vision is a requirement. However, is it possible to get a waiver? Has anyone ever heard of it? The only waiver guide I can find says a waiver will not be granted for a flight physical. I'm highly interested in the 13SX field (Missile side to be exact) but I'm green weak and I cannot pass a PIP exam. Other than that I don't think I'd have any other issues. I currently operate and maintain a ground-based radar set with no issues; whether it's working with color-coded wires or working with a color computer moniter, and was not even aware I had a color issue until a few years back Insight from people with first hand knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
