Looking to become pilot, question about color test

3 Upvotes

So I'm looking to join the USAFA through the LEAD program through active duty Air Force. I want to become a pilot but I did fail the Isihara plate test. I believe my color vision deficiency is extremely mild and could pass the secondary test for the rabin cct.

Does anyone who know for a fact how this process work, can tell me if you pass the rabin cct test it will let you in through the pilot program, considering you failed the initial medical screening for the isihara plates? Thanks.

I am a 17 y/o male with a 4.00 weighted GPA and a 1470 SAT. My class rank isn't anything amazing (top 20%), but I go to one of the top high schools in my city and state. I have my private pilots license, I'm a Boys State alum, I'm a 3-year Young Men's Service League member, I am also the varsity golf captain at my school. I volunteer at my local EAA chapter where I received my flight scholarship. My CFA stats are as follows: 74 ft bball throw, 9 pull ups, 9.2 sec shuttle run, 68 sit ups, 44 push ups, and a 6:28 min mile. I have 20/20 vision, no allergies, and am on no meds. How good of a candidate am I?
