Damn must be nice to do security forces and be able to do that test. I did that, the falant, and the airforce does not honor it. At least not for anything requiring a flight physical.

no no, I passed the contrasting color/blotch test when I enlisted...but I started stuntriding 2 years before I got out. 4 years later when I went to work for the DoD as a Civilian, I took the same test and failed it horribly. Tech says, "anyone ever tell you your colorblind?"
I said " I passed this exact test 9 years ago"
she said " hmm. we'll have you had alot of head trauma over the past years? that would cause you to lose your color vision quickly"
I said "....brap".

im not going to read through all of this but if you are riding in a parking lot or (closed course) if you know what im saying and you are wearing all of your PPE a CO or any other superior cannot tell you that you cant do it there are no rules against if someone tries to tell you that there is they are full of shit and most likely making up their own rules cause they think they can and dontttttttttt let them if its not a written order there is nothing they can do about it....another good argument to bring up is if they say you cannot stunt then other marines, soldiers, airmen, ect are riding offroad vehicles...atv's, dirtbikes ect shouldnt be aloud to do so also...............i did 5 years in the marines most of my squadron came to my local shows they loved it

Even though my squadron didn't care every time I got hurt I still made something up and they would all laugh at the flash report cause i would make up hilarious shit so they would have something to laugh at

I'm surprised they were ok with that! My command would flip shit!
I'm always having to make up excuses for my minor injuries.
The very few guys who know laugh about my storries.
Your commander can make any rules they want. If they say you can't wear t shirts on weekends then you can't.
I do think it's BS that riding dirt bikes is ok though and this isn't.
