[cbjunkie]

[Rsnip988]

I see infinity..... Oh wait, I was looking at it sideways. Nope it is an 8

[Rushoid]

I see an 8. Barely. That's the one I failed years ago. Don't know why I see it now. BTW I have brown eyes.

MrBreeze, that's exactly what I did in the Navy: Aviation Electrician. I guess I qualified with missing only one. Don't know why it would matter, all the wires are the same color anyway.

I met a girl when I was in that said she wanted to be a corpsman (HM). They told her HT stood for "Hospital Technician!"   She ended up being a pretty good welder though.

naw,you see a k8

[eldar]

I would if I was not at work!

I know that I'm color blind 'cause the Air Force told me so.  My problem is with dark colors mainly.
By the way, that number you see in the circle, do non colorblind folks see a clear distict number?  Or a faint ghostly one?

[gpjerry]

The dots form a pretty distinct number on most of them.  In this case there was no doubt.  Sometimes it takes a few seconds to recognize it.

I'm color blind and so is my brother, but my sisters are fine. It limited what I could do in the army, as I was classified "CP4, Dangerous/Unsafe" but in a way it set me up for a good civilian job as a defence contractor now that I'm retired from the regular army.

My brother once worked for an auto paint store where he sometimes had to "eye match" car paint, not surprisingly that job was quite short lived!

I often confuse dark green or blue with black, but otherwise I'm fine, and the interesting thing is that in WW2 the army used color blind guys in the Pacific theatre as forward scouts, because we aren't confused by camouflage. Also, quite often our "night vision" is superior to that of "unimpaired" people. Like a lot of disabilities, you lose something here, but you pick up something else there.

I wonder if I can legally park in a handicapped spot? Cheers, Terry.

Damn Terry...do ya think?

Gotta be worth a shot mate! Hey, guess what? CB also stands for Color Blind! How's that for coincidence? Spooooky....................

I see a # 8 also, worked for telephone company for 30 years splicing a lot of different color wires,could not have done that if I was color blind.

[Ebrandon]

i sometimes wonder how much the "guys have it more than girls" is a newspeak type thing....the less colors you "know" the less you can see them.  my wife knows a million different colors that i refer to as "blue."  they spend more time looking at and thinking about color and, therefore, have a greater perception of it.  it's like a forest ranger looking into the woods as opposed to me, they see a million different things and i see trees.


probably crazy, but i got to reference 1984.

Uh-uh. I am a girl and don't know crap about colors. blue,green,grey,black,red, yellow and every thing else is just a variation. Don't want to come off as the femi-nazi, but I hate across the board generalization.

You'll be ok mate, just take one of those large candy canes with you, which I've just decided is the international "Color Blind" handicap symbol! Cheers, Terry.
