I was Active Duty for four years in the U.S. Navy and am trying to go back to reserves. The reserves does not have my rate, so I have to switch. In real life, I am develop as an IT professional (taking server and programming courses alike). I am trying to get an IT oriented job, but am colorblind. Is there a waiver for that? Are any CT jobs open to colorblind people in the reserve? I know CTR was a rate that didn't matter, what about CTN?
Any answers would be much appreciated.

No. Good color perception is required for certain rates and NECs. There are no waivers to permit you to "strike" in one of those rates if you are color blind. However, I served with several CTs in different branches of the Cryptotechnician rate and some were color blind. They were "A" and "I" branch CTs.

I am assuming you were colorblind while active duty. I would talk to a recruiter about it.
