A mariner must have correctable vision to at least 20/50 in one eye and uncorrected vision of at least 20/200 in the same eye and need only the ability to distinguish the colors red, green, blue, and yellow. (b) Engineering, radio officer, tankerman, and MODU standard.
However, his color vision issue obviously looms.įrom what I can gather from the CFR's on the testing standard, if DS goes engineering (his preference anyway), he only need pass one of the applicable tests. Being an ex-merchant mariner and having a 25 year career in naval engineering, I encouraged him to apply and to go on a recruiting trip. Unexpectedly, DS#3 is being recruited for swimming at KP. That's when I wised up and gave the Ishihara test to all of my kids. Need to solicit some educated opinions.ĭS#1 DQ'ed from USNA for red/green deficiency after completing application.
