I am not that pissed, nor that offended. as I previously said ^^^^^^^^^^

Yes, I saw that. But that doesn't mean that I can't post that, now does it?

The only thing that scared me about that was that I didn't get any but the first one right.

I've seen too many of them things and saw that coming from a mile away

That can comprise fraud and can get you discharged if it is found out. I too am color blind and got a job in military intelligence. There are ALOT of jobs in the USAF that you can be colorblind in. Don't hand me the BS that you lied because you had to in order to get a 'good job'. Being colorblind and being a mechanic is not a good combo. It is dangerous for those that drive/fly the vehicles that you attempt to repair.

Excuse me, but the AF entrance exam is HOW I found out about my colorblindness. Based on my other test scores I had a number of career choices, then they entered the color blindness results and it dropped to two choices. Building runways, or working in a material warehouse. I chose the warehouse. I understand dealing with color coded wires on an aircraft require one to not be colorblind. What kind of moron would not understand that? And as for your jumping to conclusions, well, thats AF intelligence for you. oxymorons at work.

Umm it might be a good idea to read the Posts a little more carefully before you start accusing someone of fraud or lying. Couslee simply said that colorblindness limited his career choices is obviously true.

On a lighter note (and getting back to the joke theme of the thread) For all you guys that could only see the first number have you ever come across a situation in life were you couldn't see some important information because it was surround by orange and red dots? How many of you would even know you are color blind if you hadn't had to take an eye test for some reason.
