Question

I have mild red/green colour blindness, will I fail the medical if I want to join as an Air engineer officer?

Answer 1

Depends how bad it is and they will test you as part of the selection process. At the end of the day if you can't tell the difference between a red wire and a green wire you could cause some kind of damage.

Answer 2

Answer 5

If you are colour blind, you will not be able to join the RAF as a Firefighter, Weapon Technician, Aircraft Technician (Mechanical) or Aircraft Technician (Avionics). To join as a Pilot or an Engineer Officer, you'll do a colour perception test. It's only by doing this test that we can decide whether you'll qualify for the job.

Answer 6

You can try to join but for goodness sake do not try for electrician or bomb disposal. The wires are red, green, yellow and black with variations thrown in.

Answer 7

you cannot join the military with any kind of blindness!
