[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waivers are easier to get if you self-ID early in the process. In the Naval Academy, something like 20% are pre-tracked for aviation and color-blindness makes aviation auto-ineligible. And even with a medical waiver, expect that the fact of the waiver will be public and will produce very unpleasant hazing. [/quote] Really? Someone would get hazed for being colorblind?[/quote] No. But somebody could easily be hazed if the midshipman is perceived to be shirking duties, or not at 100% fitness. That could easily buy a midshipman a difficult time. And targeting can happen very rapidly and for no good reason at all. In addition, the midshipman must waive medical privacy in order to be enlisted (midshipmen are generally considered to be E5 enlistees until pre-commissioning) and enrolled, and the issue of any waiver will be repeatedly and perhaps abusively revisited by USNA division commanders.
