That stinks about the color blind but I would get a second opinion. There have been a lot of issues with the equipment at MEPS where their opinions were overturned later. I am in the CG and am amazed everyday the training they have sent me to or have paid for. In 5 years I probably have 150-180 college credits, most coming from schools they have sent me to such as AC&R (6 weeks, 8 hours a day) which I could get out today and either start my own business or be a technician anywhere I go. Diesel schools, hydraulics, anything mechanical related they have sent me to a school for it ranging from 1 week to 6 weeks not including my original "A" school training. In two weeks I am going to a 38 day leadership school worth 12 college credits, all paid for by them, with me getting paid. Heck, they even sent me to Las Vegas for a week a couple of weeks ago for a conference.
The technical ratings in the Navy are much more specialized than the Coast Guard. The job I do is comprised of several ratings in the Navy.
