I am currently a Sergeant on my second enlistment in the Marine Corps. I have 3 more years to my contract to the Marines. During that time I am trying to complete a Bachelor's Degree. Once I have done so, I want to go into Navy Dentistry.
I have been doing some research into the field and the requirements. My basic problem is I have a Red/Green Color blindness. From the research I have done, I believe I should still be able to get into the denistry field. I would just be unable to be an Unrestricted line officer. I would fall under the Staff Corps. Please correct me if I am wrong, I need to know if this will be an issue.
Also, what can I do now to set myself up for success? I plan on completing at least 13 years with the Navy so I can get my retirement and perhaps start a personal practice after. I am currently 25 years old with 4 1/2 years active duty time, 7 1/2 years by Expiration of Current Contract.
Any advice is extremely appreciated.
I have Tourette Syndrome and the Navy gave me a waiver back in November (or so) of last year. Talk to a recruiter.
