25C is open to those who are color blind or color deficient.

Does the 25C MOS require a recruit to pass a red/green color blindness exam?

Yes, normal color vision is a requirement for 25C, unfortunately.
Here is the link to the answer:

Simon Hemingway - DA Pamphlet 611-21 has the requirements for MOSs.Color Blindness will be in the "other requirements".
The link will look weird, but it should work.

Don't quote me on this, but I think you can get a waiver for it. I have a few Charlie buddies that are red/green colorblind. I'll ask them and comment with an update.

I would imagine it would be a requirement since you have to look at graphs and diagrams as far as I am aware and they may be color coded.
