Would they draft someone if they were allergic to hay and 5/8 color blind, and wears glasses?

You would get a physical and the current medical standards in place would determine your fitness for duty.

There is no draft. Color blindness does not disqualify you from enlisting. Glasses don't do so either if your vision corrects to certain limits. A refractive index of plus or minus 8.00 diopters is the upper limit, but that gets waived for enlistment.
As a personal note, I am dismayed by the total lack of understanding concerning the draft. You have to register with Selective Service. But, there is no legislation ordering conscription. So, quit worrying about it.

Who said there was a draft? There is still and all volunteer military and people still signing up. I am a wife of a deployed husband on his second tour to iraq. You would be surprised if you signed up they still would take you. Color blindness , wearing glasses doesn't disqualify you. We had a friend who got Lasik. Don't worry!

Wearing glasses and allergies dont disqualify you, but i dont know about the color blindness, but as of yet there isnt a draft so i would worry.

I don't think the hay allergy would prevent you from being drafted. Color blindness disqualifies you from the navy and marines (I think). My pre-Navy scholarship physical tested for colorblindness (I guess its important for distinguishing between ships and the sea and planes and the sky). As for vision, you hace to have vission below 20/100 or 20/200 uncorrected and correctable to 20/20 in one eye, 20/100 in the other (I think, don't quote me on those).

There will not be a military draft. Not as long as there are plenty of new recruits and people like myself who decide to stay in. I would rather do my job with less men than we need, than be plussed up with somebody who doesn't want to be there. Calm your fears my little friend...

first of all of the militia isn't assembly the numbers they're desiring. for this reason they have the incentives and have become human beings's names from faculties etc. 2d the draft if not kosher, whether take all of the twerps that prefer to shoot at human beings right here in the U. S. and show the thank you to quite shoot deliver their butts to the middle east. they are going to locate that obtaining shot at isn't relaxing, yet they might in the long-term have a extra effective probability at a destiny whilst they're carried out with the militia.
