Quick question since we have so many vets in here.... my son is 15 and he went to the recruiters awhile back, asking about qualifications to get into the military, found out about taking the ASVAB, etc. etc. Anyway, after answering a few preliminary questions he found out that he would be unable to join based on over 95% of jobs listed because he is color-blind. This includes anything combat oriented and basically only leaves him with desk jobs - although nothing tech-oriented like he was hoping.

Anyway - my question is... because they most likely wouldn't accept him in times of peace, would he be elligble for the draft? At that point would they just NOT care whether he is color-blind or what?

TIA for any info you can share.
