Ok, I am interested in becoming an air traffic controller, but before I started anything, I had a couple of questions to ask. First off, I am color deficient (not color blind)... basically I can see the difference between red/blue/green but I have trouble distinguishing between different reds and such. Is this something that would disqualify me? I read that there are multiple color vision tests you can take other than the Ishihara test... anyone know anything about this?

I also have a mild heart murmur (usually the doctor can't even hear it). I read that if I had a cardiologist write me a letter for the physical that all would be alright... is this true? Anyone else out there have any of these issues?

Does anyone have an idea when they will post the next OTS announcement? I also considered doing CTI classes, but I read that they can be a waste of time... any input from anyone?

I guess that's it for now... thanks!
