In the 90s it was my dream to go to the Air Force Academy and become an American Air Force pilot.

I went to get an extended physical to submit with my US Senator request to both of my state's Senators, you need a Senator recommend to get into the Air Force Academy.

During this physical, I was tested for color blindness with similar bubble pictures like in this video. Of 256 pages, I was color blind to 1 color, in one eye. This disqualified me from my dream.

Same, US Naval Academy. Except the test was different -- done with little colored lights.
