Depends on the degree of your color blindness. I am partially color blind to shades of red and green. Which I didn't know till I did my AFEES testing. This kept me from playing explosives and other fun ordinance, something about clipping the wrong shade of wire! I was able to do just about anything else. I wound up as a cook, because I already had 4 years food service experience. Don't forget that every Marine regardless of M.O.S. has to combat qualify every year. A Marine recruiter can give you more specifics. One tip, do not go in open contract. Go in guaranteed contract, otherwise they will stick you where ever they need bodies, whether or not it's what you want to do.

As far as what MOSs, call your recruiter, you need to take the ASVAB to answer that question
