HogLifer - You must have vision correctable to 20/40 in each eye. In all cases, the uncorrected vision should be at least 20/800. A vision waiver may be granted if the applicant's corrected vision in the better eye is 20/40. You must also have 100 degrees horizontal field of vision.
One other thing I can add is that the ability to identify color is just as important. From what I've heard though is that if you are color blind you can still get a license just with a day only restriction.... maybe some clarification.....

Color Blind
I dont have any info to back this up, but I highly doubt that is true...But maybe someone can tell us for sure...
Color Vision
The applicant must have the ability to recognize basic colors in order to recognize color-coded indicator lights, diagrams, piping systems, valves and wiring. Deck Officers must also be able to recognize colored lights that are used on aids to navigation, such as navigation lights on vessels.
Satisfactory completion of any of the following methods is acceptable proof of color sense:
Farnsworth Lantern
Keystone Orhoscope
Eldridge Green Color Perception Lantern
(and there are a few more)
** A restriction would be put on a person's license if they can only see black and white, and cannot operate with their license professionally from sunset to sunrise.
I just Got my TWIC card and what is my next step in the Memphis Area? All of my time was in 88-90 in the Caribbean, are you saying that counts and i need to record that and then log 90 days within a year or just in the last three years, bottom line should i wait till i am closer to the 90 day before starting the year? and these would be Caribbean sea, coastal and Mississippi river logs
I got it on the log time, i guess i am asking how much do i need to do before hand. what forms and where is the "corrent paperwork" (web) to start collecting all that info. things change quick with homeland so i am asking?
