Hi!  This is my first post.  My son went through MEPS today and due to his "color blindness" was offered a position as a Religious Program Specialist.  His very outgoing, good with people but was looking for something he thought would be more exciting. Seems to me that this position is just as exciting as most or more so then the other jobs offered to enlisted personnel with color blindness.  Can anyone give me information to share with him to help keep him positive?

    When I saw the first response, I wondered how did she know my name?  Did I post and forget?  :)  Well since this was posted in January, I'm interested to know how your son is doing.  My son left a week ago and is going to be an RP.  I think from the beginning and learning the jobs, this one really grabbed at him.  Besides the paperwork, he will love it, I'm sure.

      Hopefully some of the newer RP "moms" will join in on this...but I will offer you that I have been an RP my entire career.  For more than 24 years I have LOVED every minute of this job as a Sailor.  I wouldn't trade one second or one duty station. I have got to be on ships, with Marines, at training commands, large shore chapel!

        My daughter is also collar blind (rare for a girl). She thought religious provider would be interesting. She really wanted to go in as a lawman but found out you need a degree. She sounds happy when I talked to her. She graduates bc April 12. Can't wait to see her.
