I can't tell you how many guys I've talked to who took "no" for an answer because they failed the color vision portion of the initial flight physical. I failed it too, but a helpful opthamologist told me to ask for the "Farnsworth Lantern" test as an alternate when I got to the end of the line and saw a flight surgeon. Now if you can't pass the Farnsworth Lantern test, you probably shouldn't be driving a car!
