SPC Private RallyPoint Member5430528<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Back in MEPS I passed my red/green color test but failed the portion with all the colored dots. However they marked me down as red green color blind and that is why i did not get to choose 25b coming in to the army. I am in my window and am going to take a new color vision test to try and pass, but will i need to pass BOTH the red/green and the colored dot parts to qualify for 25b or is it primarily the red/green that matters. I've heard multiple things and would appreciate the help.What are my chances of reclassing to 25b if i have perfect red/green color vision but failed the color bubble test? And is it waiverable?2020-01-09T22:54:46-05:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member5430528<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Back in MEPS I passed my red/green color test but failed the portion with all the colored dots.

AR 40-501 Standards of Medical Fitness. Nonetheless it would be a great questions to ask the eye doctor when you retake the test. If you can't get the answer maybe ask your PA if they could do some research for you.

You only have to pass 1 out of 3 to be considered non R/G colorblind. <br /><br />I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get Airborne because if it but I turned out fine cause I passed the other 2. I would look back into it because R/G slight color deficiency is actually very very common in men.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 10 at 2020 12:13 AM2020-01-10T00:13:19-05:002020-01-10T00:13:19-05:00SGM Private RallyPoint Member5431396<div class="images-v2-count-1"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-412391"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image">

It will tell you which color test you need to be capable of passing. This is the source for all MOS requirements.
