They will fill places from Panel B rather than going through the whole recruitment process again. It would be very helpful if they indicated what position a person was on the panel. Regarding the bit in bold, did the person on the phone say Panel A and Panel B? Maybe they're reading this thread :eek:

You have a few options. 1) Have the optician write test your colour vision, using the ishihara test (circles made up of dots of various size and colour, with a number visable to those with safe colour perception) and the D15 Farnsworth series (also known as the City University Colour Perception test). He may be able to say that you are slightly colourblind, and that your colour perception is safe enough. If you do this, don't mention the note until the doctor has tested you. If he fails you, then produce the note. 2) Find the tests online, and learn them off. Try to learn off what number comes up with the various colours as you see them. I know a lad that did this for the Gardai. But mainly mate, you need to accept that you may not get in. I have no idea why, I can't see how a soldier needs to have perfect colour vision.

They said its a killer the training but afterwards you'll never see anything as hard.
