Opening statement: Fail

Tone of language and demeanor: Fail - not it our house, never again

Complete disregard for policy and rules, failure to follow simple instructions

But believe me, I can identify colors just as good as anyone...it's just those damn number charts. I can honestly say I wouldn't endanger someone's life in a firefight or something. Not only that, but it's said color deficient people supposedly aren't as easily fooled by camouflage. I am absolutely confident I can identify different colored-tips on 40mm rounds and different color smoke flares. I've even looked through NVG's before... and onto darkened documents illuminated by red light filters. No problems. Doesn't make any sense. Even if there is vision issue, at least let me prove it during SFAS. But according to that excerpt, there still may be hope. Can anyone enlighten me?

Then allow me to enlighten you....

Don't assume you can identify colors as "good" as anyone else. The word you're looking for is "well", but then again, I would'nt expect someone who is obviously taking a knee-jerk reaction to understand that, knowing, only ends with a self inflicted black eye, ouch!

The ... "damn number charts" are made for a reason. Seems they worked in outing you, revealing you character in facing opposition or difficulty.

You say you "wouldn't endanger someone's life in a firefight or something", I'm beginning to question that, in fact, I'm sure you would, leaving me to wonder why I'm replying to a thread, I'm sure will never be read or understood by you.

I'm not going to make comments regarding your statements of camouflage, 40mm rounds, smoke, or NVGs. In fact, I hope you never are placed in a position to be near such weapons or equipment until such time your GT score is well above 127, and a curtian level of maturity is obtained.

I will now let others more "enlightened" than I, to continue the dialogue of this thread.

I will remain a humble servant of my team, "holding fast the corner" closely watching for smoke, knowing what order the 40mm grenades are secured without looking for colored tips. I also will change radio freq. channels without the aid of red-filtered lens, or missing boundry lines on the seven colored issued maps.
