If you are in fact colorblind it is not waiverable at all for civilian commercial or military aviation (and many military non-flying jobs).

The $20 million dollar question is: How colorblind are you? If you just have a little trouble with a certain color(s) you might be able to pass an alternate test. The civilian rules are changing on this, see the Pilot Health forum for more info on this.

I'm not sure, but I think they military may offer an alternative test to the color plates also.

I would work with a civilian eye doc to try to find a test you can pass, then see about doing that test with the military and FAA.
